The XT912 SST is AirBorne's newest design.  It features a strut braced wing 

that has superior aerodynamics and performance over most conventional

a top of the line aircraft second to none.

AirBorne Australia wings

AirBorne Australia produces some of the most highly acclaimed wings in

 the world.  All wing designs are tested to 6 g positive and 3 g negative

and are certified to Australian Civil Aviation Safety regulations.

 

   

 

SST

 
SST stands for strutted or strut braced wing.  With superior aerodynamics over
conventional light sport aircraft with upper rigging, the SST wing also allows the
aircraft to be stored in a much lower hanger.  With a cruise speed of 70 knots, the
SST takes over from the Streak 3 wing as the ultimate cross country tourer.  The 
SST come standard with faired control bar and in-flight trimmer.

hands off trim speed allows the pilot to fly long cross country flights with little

effort.  The wing co-ordinates brilliantly and handles varying conditions

superbly.  The Streak 3 comes standard with faired control bar and

in-flight trimmer.

isn't in a hurry.  It is cross country capable and landing options really open up with

this wing.  The slow speed allows for landing the XT Tundra, or Outback trikes on 

soft sandy terrain or rough paddocks.
