About the JMB VL3

The JMB VL3 is a high-performance European ultralight and LSA-category aircraft, renowned for its incredible speed and efficiency. Constructed almost entirely from carbon fiber, it features retractable landing gear and a constant-speed propeller, often paired with a turbocharged Rotax 915iS engine. This combination allows it to achieve cruise speeds approaching 200 knots, making it one of the fastest aircraft in its class and an attractive option for fast cross-country travel. The JMB VL3 has a number of versions, including a fixed gear variant for the US light-sport aircraft category
