Sonex is excited to announce first flight of the Sonex Highwing! The flight took place on the evening of Monday, June 30 2025, piloted by Sonex Advisory Board member Joe Norris. The flight was kept brief due to a passenger-side door latch issue, however, all engine temperatures were in the green and the aircraft handled as-expected with only slight rigging adjustments needed. Weight & balance for the prototype is on-target with the aircraft currently at 816 lbs. empty. More flights will take place soon (with wheel pants and gear leg fairings installed) and we will be collecting and reporting performance numbers in the coming weeks.
