Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Low-mounted, tapered |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | Rotax 912 tractor engine, slender motorglider fuselage |
| T — Tail | T-tail |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Low-wing glass-fibre motorglider with T-tail and folding wings
- Side-by-side cockpit, conventional tailwheel gear, glide ratio 31:1
- Rotax 912 tractor engine, slender motorglider fuselage
The very long slender low wing, T-tail, side-by-side cockpit and folding wings distinguish the Super Ximango from high-wing or tandem motorgliders; the conventional tailwheel gear is unusual for the type.

History
Developed by Aeromot of Porto Alegre, the Super Ximango was the production-ready evolution of earlier Ximango designs, using a Rotax 912 engine and GRP composite airframe. About 126 examples were built by 2009, exported to gliding clubs worldwide.
Variants
Earlier Ximango variants used different engines; the Super Ximango standardised on the Rotax 912.
Where you'll see it
The Super Ximango is operated by gliding clubs and private pilots in Brazil, Europe and North America as a cross-country touring motorglider.
