The Colt is a pure joy to fly. Building a better flight training aircraft by design.
Texas Aircraft started in 2016, but our heart was formed decades earlier. With a team who had made more than 300 planes amassing approximately 150,000 flight hours to their credit to design the Colt.
As result is the Colt 100, a value-priced LSA that is sleek, stylish, safe and most of all, a lot of fun to fly - and it’s the only American made LSA featuring a trifecta of superior features:
. semi-cantilever, high-wing design
. all aviation-grade aluminum airframe with all solid metal rivets
. a welded chromoly passenger safety cell with an optional GRS ballistic parachute.
In 2018 we designed and built an all-new manufacturing facility specifically for Colt production in Hondo, Texas just west of San Antonio. We’d love to talk with you, learn your needs and answer any question you have.
We hope you’ll love it as much as we do.
Texas Aircraft is proud to introduce the Colt-SL, a new-generation Light Sport Aircraft (S-LSA), offering many advantages including a high-wing design, all-metal airframe, solid metal rivets, welded passenger safety cell, dual yokes, Galaxy GRS parachute, Dynon touchscreen NextGen avionics, and much more.
Exceptional safety through superior
modern desin and Technology.
Texas Aircraft Colt comes standard withan anything but “standard” avionics suite.
