ICON Aircraft released details this week about its Angle of Attack (AoA) system, a safety feature that will be standard on the company’s A5 Light Sport Aircraft. ICON has completed the design, development, and testing of its AoA system, a feature rarely seen in General Aviation aircraft. ICON has also released a new video demonstrating the safety benefits and real-world implications of flying with AoA.

ICON Aircraft announced earlier this year that it successfully completed spin-resistance testing of its A5 amphibious Light Sport Aircraft to the standard specified by the FAA for Part 23 certified aircraft. This historic achievement will make the A5 the first conventional production aircraft to be designed to and fully meet this standard once it enters production.
