ICON recently announced a gross weight increase for the A5, raising the useful load to 490 pounds. The process involved close to two years of R&D by our engineering team. If you're interested in a bit of a behind-the-scenes look as to the extent of the testing, the article below provides an overview.
Way to go ICON! I’m proud to have been a part of the development of this aircraft, and one of the original “Hatchlings” that worked at the Tehachapi facility
Well done I con , plz Registration South korea LSA
Rodolfo Corrêa this is great.
Masterful work by ICON. Congratulations to the team!!
I've been there!

7moWell done Icon 👏… and probably scope for a weight lessening exercise in coming years - with the advent of new engineered materials with higher structural strength-to-weight ratios, leading to an even greater payload capacity, as the basic empty weight is reduced 🤔
