Ever wanted to own your of plane? The ICON A5 is solely designed for personal use. Now what makes this different from any other personal planes? The ICON A5 contains unique features including a carbon fiber airframe, folding wings, and a unique engine that allow it to run on both aviation gas and auto. The ICON A5 is also safe because it has propeller guard and built-in parachute that can be easily used in case of any emergency.

Introducing a new dimension to sport flying.

A new, light sport aircraft manufacturer, ICON Aircraft, started with the vision that planes should be designed with the consumer in mind first. Founded out of Stanford Graduate School of Business by Kirk Hawkins, an accomplished engineer and former U.S. Air Force F-16 pilot, ICON Aircraft conducted years of thorough research to develop an industrial design that has evolved to become ICON’s first model, the ICON A5.

A long-time powersports enthusiast, Hawkins’ dream for the potential of sport flying became possible when he first heard of the FAA’s rule changes for light sport aircraft in 2004. As he witnessed what the Yamaha Waverunner did for personal watercraft in 1980’s, Hawkins believed a consumer-oriented sport plane could do the same for recreational flying.
