The sport is back in flying…
Since the FAA’s dramatic regulation changes in 2004 created the new Light Sport Aircraft category, ICON Aircraft’s sole purpose has been to bring the freedom, fun, and adventure of flying to all who have dreamed of flight. With these ground-breaking FAA rules solidified, ICON believes that consumer-focused sport aircraft can do for recreational flying what personal watercraft did for boating.
ICON’s sport aircraft are not only designed to deliver an amazing and safe flying experience, but also to inspire us the way great sports cars do. After years of development with some of the world’s best aerospace engineers and industrial designers, ICON Aircraft has released the first of its line of sport planes, the ICON A5. The A5 is a bold yet elegant design that communicates beauty, performance, safety, and most importantly… fun.
ICON was founded in 2005 by Kirk Hawkins. Hawkins, a graduate from the Stanford Business School, is an accomplished engineer, former U.S. Air Force F-16 pilot, and long-time motorsport enthusiast. With its world-class team of engineers, designers, advisors, and investors, ICON is located in Southern California – home of the world’s largest concentration of both aerospace and automobile design resources. ICON’s engineering and development team came from Burt Rutan’s famed Scaled Composites, which created such record setting projects as Voyager, Global Flyer, the X-Prize winning SpaceShipOne, and Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo.

In 1989, Bradley Huggins, the founder/CEO/and exclusive designer of all Bradley Aircraft set out to design an all metal aircraft that would meet and exceed the competition.
First, it had to be stronger then the others. It also had to use 2024-T3 aircraft grade aluminum skins. The use of inexpensive 6061-T6 skins were never considered. It also had to build faster than anything on the market, so the challenge had been set.
The Bradley Aerobat was born and in April of 1990 The testing was done and Bradley Aerospace inc was officialy in business.
Bradley has also designed a 1600 hp turbine powered tandem seat ground support aircraft that will carry 600 gallons of fuel and 10,000 pounds of ordinance.( A.T.A.X.) . Lastly, there is a four place delta wing canard jet kit, not yet on the market however the prototype is complete.
After years of research and development, the Bradley Pitbull is now finished with a 250 hour build time and flight testing complete.
Bradley Aerospace is now taking orders and aircraft kits are being delivered.
The goal of Bradley Aircraft is to make the strongest, quickest build all metal aircraft in the world using no special tools, jigs or alignment beams to build the complete aircraft. Bradley Aerospace now proudly markets the Bradley Aerobat single seat and the new Bradley Pitbull two seat side by side.
So please carefully research the metal aircraft market.

Our Super cubs can provide a perfect escape from the weekend crowds by whisking us as far away as we desire, while relieving us of the burden of a heavy laden backpack and weary legs. These so called Bush Planes are wonderful because they give access to those who love nature but aren’t physically able to hike or carry large loads. By being our pack mule as well as our legs, the Supercub extends our range and takes us farther than we would otherwise go. VIEW VIDEO

Departing Merritt island, COI for Orlando Executive ORL, and it’s debut at NBAA (National Business Aircraft Association) 2008. The fully Carbon Composite construction of the CA9 gives it a sleek airframe that allows it to cruise at 250 knots even though it has fixed landing gear. The fixed landing gear gives the aircraft the ability to go into rugged terrain where you are unable to take a retractable gear aircraft, and the high useful load will let you carry just about anything you can imagine.
