Quotes about Icon Airplanes

“We designed it so that people who don’t know airplanes know that something has changed,” Kirk Hawkins, ICON’s CEO, said to Popular Mechanics.

"ICON Aircraft is bringing the freedom, fun and adventure back into aviation by building aircraft that evoke an emotional response like great sports cars do," said founder and CEO Kirk Hawkins.

"This is the beginning of a new era by bringing in, not thousands, not tens of thousands, but potentially hundreds of thousands of new pilots to aviation," said Vern Raburn, founder and CEO of Eclipse Aviation.

"The ICON A5 is extremely well suited for the sport pilot, but at the same time I think it appeals to the mass market," said pilot Kirby Chambliss, a five-time U.S. Aerobatics Champion and Red Bull Air Race champion.
