About the Waiex

The Sonex WAIEX is a homebuilt, low-wing, fixed-wing aircraft featuring an all-metal box fuselage and seating for two occupants. Designed as a lightweight experimental sport aircraft, it suits amateur builders and recreational pilots seeking efficient performance from a simple structure.

Developed by a small manufacturer in Wisconsin following clean-sheet design principles, the aircraft accommodates several lightweight powerplant options, including automotive conversions and dedicated aircraft engines. Builders can construct the airframe from scratch using factory drawings or assemble pre-cut kits. The type achieved recognition within the homebuilt aviation community, earning industry accolades following its initial flight.
