LIGHT SPORT COMPANY HAS A VISION
WORLD AIRCRAFT COMPANY (WAC) of Paris, Tennessee, near the Kentucky border, has introduced the Vision Light Sport aircraft model. It features huge windows and large doors originally designed for the law enforcement world. It costs $112,995 ready to fly, or $42,295 as a painted kit that can be assembled in days. Windows will require riveting. Vision is built on the Spirit airframe that the company introduced at Oshkosh last year. The instrument panel was reduced in size, and glass extended down the sides of the cabin so pilots could look forward and down. Baggage compartment windows were wrapped around the airframe for rearward and downward viewing. Vision is claimed to have “helicopter-like” visibility, a term also used by a competing manufacturer, Aerotrek. The larger doors plus a folding control stick, aimed at older pilots, make entry and exit easier. The seat moves rearward seven inches to allow pilots to swing their feet in without bending their knees. Next up: a new low-wing model from WAC.
BIG PERSON? NO PROBLEM.

The doors of the Spirit model were made a foot larger for the Vision. Clear doors and a skylight improve the already super visibility.
