About the Xenos

The Sonex Xenos is a two-seat, motorglider version based on the Waiex Y-tail design, featuring significantly longer wings for soaring capability (24:1 glide ratio). It retains the Sonex line’s all-aluminum construction, affordability, and aerobatic potential (in utility category). The wings are removable for hangar storage. It can be flown as an LSA or by glider pilots with a self-launch endorsement.
