These airplanes listed have been in certification process for years now, and chances are they will finally be released to the market sometime this year. I am personally excited about the pipistrel panthera airplane because it is a true ground breaker with its speak looks and flight characteristics. Each of the airplane listed may have the price and performance data change when they are officially launched but these are the numbers we have for now. Below are the stats for each plane Flight Design C4: A four seater light airplane from Germany Flight Design, which also has the number one selling light sport aircraft in the world, The Flight design ctls. Engine: Continental IO 360 180HP Cruise speed:145Kts Stall speed: 50kts Fuel consumption: 6-8gal/hr Price: $250,000 VL3 Evolution by JMB: claims to be the fastest ultra light airplane in the world. It is fast but def not the fastest. The evolution is a sweet design from the Czech republic that is set to launch in the United states as an experimental airplane. Engine: Rotax 912 or 914 Cruise speed: 145kts Stall speed: 29kts Fuel consumption: 5 gal/hr Price: $150,000 Pipistrel Panthera - A true four seater from pipistrel that is also fuel efficient. The panthera project has been delayed a bit due to issues with the original IO 390 engine that didn’t pass certification. Now Pipistrel plans to fit the panthers airplane with a new bigger engine the IO 540. Engine: Lycoming IO-540 Cruise speed: 200kts Stall speed: 60kts Fuel consumption: 10 gal/hr Price: $500,000 Diamond DA50: The DA50 is Diamondstar efforts to build an airplane that seats 5-7 people comfortably. The project has been coming up for years and it looks like the Diamond DA50 will be certified sometime this year. Last year Diamond released the big twin engine airplane the DA62 Engine: Multiple engine output options Cruise speed: 173kts Stall speed: N/A Fuel consumption: N/A Price: $528,000 Icon A5: The icon A5 is a really nice light airplane with smooth design and decent performance. The A5 though has had its shares of bad media and crashes. Currently the airplane has delays in production and it is overpriced at $389,000 in my opinion. Engine: Rotax 912 Cruise speed: 85kts Stall speed: 30kts Fuel consumption: 4 gals/hr Price: $389,000
