A development of the World Aircraft Spirit, the Vision features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit that is 48.50NaN0 wide, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. It also has large clear plastic doors and an enlarged front windshield to enhance visibility.[3]
The aircraft is made from aluminum sheet. Its 31.41NaN1 span wing has an area of 132square feet and mounts flaps. The wing is supported by "V" struts and jury struts. The aircraft's recommended engine is the 1000NaN0 Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant. The tricycle landing gear is strengthened for rough field operations and includes an adjustable nose strut shock absorber. Electric rudder trim is standard.
The aircraft has a design maximum gross weight of 16530NaN0, but is restricted to 13200NaN0 if flown in the US light-sport aircraft category.
Vision kits are fully assembled at the factory and then disassembled for customer delivery and may be shipped painted as well.[4]
As of October 2012, the design appears on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved special light-sport aircraft under the name Sentinel.[5]
By November 2012 two examples had been registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration under the Sentinel name.[6]
