AirBorne builds the best trikes in the world.  When it comes to quality

products, service and customer satisfaction . . . . AirBorne delivers!

The all NEW!
XT912 SST Tundra

Rotax 912 Four Stroke 80HP

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

that has superior aerodynamics and performance over most conventional

wings.  The lack of top rigging allows the aircraft to be stored in hangers

with low ceilings and uses even less space than a small fixed wing aircraft.

Combine it with the proven reliabiltiy of the Tundra Chassis and you have

a top of the line aircraft second to none.
