Saberwing Aircraft Saberwing

Twin Jet

The Saberwing is a rare experimental twin-jet ultralight designed and built by Saberwing Aircraft, representing one of the few attempts to create a jet-powered aircraft within the FAA's Part 103 ultralight category weight limits. With a maximum takeoff weight of just 1,320 pounds and powered by two small turbojet engines, the Saberwing occupies a unique niche in aviation as a micro-jet capable of jet performance in an ultralight-class airframe. The design emerged from the experimental aviation community's push to explore jet propulsion at the smallest practical scale, offering enthusiasts the experience of jet flight without the regulatory burden of certified aircraft. Its twin-engine configuration provides redundancy unusual in the ultralight world, though the aircraft's performance envelope and operational characteristics remain largely within the experimental builder community. The Saberwing's rarity stems from the complexity and cost of integrating even small turbojets into an ultralight airframe, making it more of a proof-of-concept than a widely replicated design.
