THE AIRCRAFT

Quoted from Airborne Australia website(www.airborne.com.au)

After many long hours and hard work we are pleased to present the the XT-912. The XT is not simply an engine upgrade for the Edge X base - It's a total redesign!. Our CNC miller has enabled innovative design concepts to become a reality. Our customers are saying the XT-912 is the best trike they have ever flown. The XT-912 is available with two wings the Streak 3 and the Cruze. The Streak 3 is the faster of the two, with a hands off trim speed of 56-60 knots compared to the Cruze 47-52 knots (trim speed depends on how the wing is tuned and weight of pilot passenger). The Cruze has slightly more area and so has less ground roll on take-off, it also will land in a shorter distance.

Jay & Dave will be flying on the Streak 3 wing in a XT 912 in their attempt. Many thanks to Graham Webster(UK Agent) for the superb service in delivering the aircraft along with the personal service which ensured a seamless final completion to current state.
