Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | High-mounted, straight |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | Parasol wing mounted above the fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Parasol wing mounted above the fuselage
- Very low-powered 12 hp engine
- Two-seat light aircraft of 10.5 m span
Look for a small parasol-wing monoplane with a tiny engine and a 10.5 m wing carried high above the fuselage.
