Design and development

The 800XP is a development of the Aveko VL-3 Sprint, adapted to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules, by increasing the wing area and raising the gross weight from 472.5 to 600 kg (1,042 to 1,323 lb). It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed open cockpit under a forward-hinged bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.^[1]

The aircraft is made from composites. Its 36.5 ft (11.1 m) span wing has an area of 116 sq ft (10.8 m²) and mounts winglets. The standard engine available is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant.^[1]
