About the Zenair CH600
The Zenith Aircraft Zenair CH600 is a fixed-wing homebuilt aircraft suited for amateur constructors and less experienced pilots. It features a single-engine layout and accommodates two people side-by-side in a roomy cockpit behind a full glazed canopy.
The aircraft traces its origins to designer Christopher Heintz, an aeronautical engineer who worked on notable projects in Europe and North America before beginning construction of the prototype. Kits were subsequently produced for builders around the world, featuring pre-manufactured components and a choice of landing gear configurations. Further evolution of the design eventually led to the creation of several subsequent models with alternative engine options and improved capabilities.
