Remos GX
Remos · Germany · first flew 2007 · light aircraft
A carbon-fibre German high-wing LSA with folding wings, pitched at flight schools and weekend tourers alike.
Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | High-mounted, tapered |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 6.48 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Carbon-fibre high-wing two-seater with a rounded cabin
- Folding wings for trailer storage
- Big glazed doors — the cabin feels all window
Rounded, glossy and high-winged with wing struts absent — the carbon wing needs none. Compare the Flight Design CT: the Remos has a more conventional tail and slimmer rear fuselage.

History
Evolved from the Remos G3 Mirage of the late 1990s, the GX flew in 2007 with a full-carbon airframe and quick-fold wings so it could live on a trailer instead of in a hangar.
Variants
G3 Mirage predecessor; GX, GXiS with fuel-injected Rotax and refreshed cabin.
Where you'll see it
Training and touring across Germany and the US LSA market; production has been intermittent but the fleet flies on.
