By 2015 Mosquito Aviation was out of business and the design was being produced by Innovator Technologies of Rockyview, Alberta, Canada.[1] By 2019 the design was being produced by Composite FX of Trenton, Florida.[2]
The XE is a development of the Mosquito Air, with a cockpit fairing and a more sophisticated exhaust system, plus a rotor diameter increased by 401NaN1 to support the higher gross weight. The aircraft was designed to comply with the US Experimental – Amateur-built and European microlight aircraft rules. It features a single main rotor and tail rotor, a single-seat enclosed cockpit with a windshield, skid landing gear and a two-cylinder, air-cooled, two stroke 640NaN0 MZ 202 engine.[1]
The aircraft fuselage is made from composites and metal tubing. Its two-bladed rotor has a diameter of 5.951NaN1 and a chord of 171NaN1. The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 1350NaN0 and a gross weight of 2800NaN0, giving a useful load of 1450NaN0. With full fuel of the payload for the pilot and baggage is 1120NaN0.[1]
