Sport class aviation has given birth to a number of new planes. One new entry into this market is the Nexaer LS1.
The plane is a two-seater with a 54" wide cabin, side-by-side seating, and an automotive-style interior and instrument panel. It can take off in just 200 feet, cruise at 140 mph, and travel at least 600 miles.
Paul Klahn, President of Nexaer, explains that "our airplane will be ideal for flight training, recreational flight, and personal leisure travel."
Flight testing for the new plane is expected to begin this fall.
