About the VL3 Evolution

The Jmb Aircraft Usa VL3 EVOLUTION is a Czech composite fixed-wing aircraft designed for private owners and homebuilders. It features a cantilever low wing, an enclosed side-by-side cockpit, and a tractor-engine configuration with tricycle landing gear.

Originally created by Aveko and later produced by JMB Aircraft, the design complies with microlight rules and is finished through a factory assistance program. A variant with a larger wing and fixed gear was previously marketed for the American light-sport category, and an example achieved a world class distance record.
