ICON Aircraft
ICON A5
A light-sport amphibian made for weekends.
The ICON A5 is less a traditional airplane than a flying boat you can trailer to a lake. Spin-resistant airfoil, angle-of-attack indicator, and folding wings are part of a design brief that tries to make water flying feel approachable.
