Why the Icon A5 is Failing

This is the Icon A5, designed and manufactured by Icon Aircraft, a US-based sports aircraft manufacturer. The aircraft is known for having brought significant excitement and publicity to the LSA industry since its unveiling in 2008, although the company’s legal and financial issues have slowed its production. ICON Aircraft positions the A5 with a recreational focus, stating that the aircraft competes with power sports vehicles such as ATVs, motorcycles, watercraft, and snowmobiles, rather than other airplanes. The A5 is the only light aircraft in production to be certified to FAA Part 23 standards.
