As the 2011 AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, hit the halfway mark, Icon Aircraft had received deposits for 65 Icon A5 airplanes during the show. Crowds filed into Icon’s dimly lit booth to watch the A5’s wings fold and unfold, and to place their $2,000 show special deposits. For each deposit accepted at the show, Icon is donating $200 to the Young Eagles program.
In addition to the foldable wings, the single-engine LSA amphibian has a unique cockpit that closely resembles the interior and panel of a car. Icon announced at AirVenture that the first 100 A5s will have a custom paint and interior. With a non-refundable deposit of $100,000, all 100 of the special edition A5s have sold out.
