Drawings of John Monnett's Onex concept aircraft were first
shown at AirVenture 2009, while the real thing, nearly ready for
flight test, made its debut at this year’s Oshkosh event. The
Onex is a simple and economical single-place all metal aircraft
design that promises to continue the lineage of outstanding Sonex
Aircraft sport pilot performance. In addition to being a
single-place aircraft, the Onex stands-out as a unique design with
its folding wing mechanism, which allows the aircraft to meet
standard trailer widths while fitting into a standard 7’
garage door, and the wing panels can easily be removed for
trailering at highway speeds.
With wings folded, five Onex aircraft can also be stored in a
single T-hangar. Like the rest of the Sonex Aircraft line of
airframes, the Onex will offer great efficiency, speed and
performance as a sport pilot legal aircraft with its AeroVee
powerplant. Onex (pronounced “One-X”) is a single-seat
aircraft designed to offer an even-more economical way to build and
fly your sport pilot aircraft.
The Onex follows the Sonex Aircraft design and engineering
tradition in offering a simple, robust, aerobatic aircraft capable
of squeezing impressive performance out of lower powered
engines.
Eligible for operation under Sport Pilot guidelines
(AeroVee-Powered Onex), the newest member of Sonex's 'Hornet's
Nest' has a maximum speed in level flight with maximum continuous
power (Vh) of not more than 120 kts (138 mph) CAS under standard
atmospheric conditions at sea level. The bird is also an aerobat...
'Loops, rolls, spins... all kinds of fun stuff..." says the Sonex
crew.
