Oaxaca PE-210A Pegasus explained

The Pegasus PE-210A is a prototype of a single-engine Trainer with canard developed by Oaxaca Aerospace and TechBA.

Design and development

Oaxaca Aerospace began the project in 2011 with the objective of designing an agile, fast and inexpensive two-seat airplane and concluded in mid-2013, the year in which the ground tests began. The aircraft has a rear mounted Lycoming AEIO-390 engine, canards and a tandem design cockpit with dual flight controls. The rear seat is at a higher level with respect to the front seat, which allows a view of 300° vertical and 240° horizontal. The aircraft was first presented to the public at Feria Aeroespacial México (FAMEX) 2015.^[1]
