Recognition (WEFT)

WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- High-wing monoplane with an unswept constant-chord wing braced by a single strut each side
- Two Rotax engines mounted over and ahead of the wing leading edge
- Rectangular tailplane mounted on top of the fuselage
It is a high-wing monoplane with a strutted, constant-chord wing with square tips. Two Rotax 912 ULS2 engines sit close together over the wing leading edge, and there are two tandem seats in a fully glazed cabin.
