JSX-1, the SubSonex proof-of-concept prototype will once
again be featured in flight demonstrations during the showcase presentation at
AirVenture Oshkosh 2013. The SubSonex Personal Jet concept was first unveiled
at AirVenture in 2009. After successful pairing with the PBS TJ-100 engine, the
SubSonex JSX-1 prototype achieved first flight in August 2011 and completed a
successful flight test program in 2012. Second-generation JSX-2 prototypes are
currently under construction to serve as ³conforming² prototypes representing
the final SubSonex Personal Jet product. JSX-2 will incorporate many new
features and enhancements, including fully retractable gear with a steerable
nose wheel, a full-airplane ballistic parachute system, larger cockpit,
increased fuel capacity and more. More SubSonex details, including flight
videos and an informative webinar presentation, can be found on the Sonex web

The 2013 Sonex Aircraft Homecoming and Open House Fly-In
will be the 10th annual event to be held, serving as the first-stop for Sonex
pilots flying-in to AirVenture. The event is a great opportunity for
prospective Sonex Aircraft builders to see customer-built aircraft and meet
their builders/owners/pilots all in once place, while meeting the Sonex
Aircraft ownership and staff and touring the Sonex headquarters facility. The
fly-in is capped-off by a ³mass taxi arrival² of Sonex Aircraft factory
prototype and customer aircraft from the Sonex headquarters to AirVenture
grounds.
