The company website expired in March 2013 and was not renewed. It is likely that the company is out of business and production has ended. [2]

Design and development

The EA-100 was designed to comply with the U.S. light-sport aircraft regulations and features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side enclosed cockpit accessed through two vertical hinged doors, fixed tricycle landing gear, and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1] [3]

The aircraft is made from aluminum sheet. Its 28.5 ft (8.7 m) span wing has an area of 135 sq ft (12.5 m2) and features electrically operated flaps. The standard engine is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant [1] while the standard propeller is a Sensenich composite ground adjustable type. [4]

Operational history

By August 2019 two examples had been registered with the US Federal Aviation Administration. [5]
