Design and development

Built from glassfibre, the Ximango is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with conventional landing gear and a T-tail. Powered by front-mounted 80 hp Limbach L2000 E01, it has an enclosed side-by-side cockpit for two. The wings fold for storage or transportation. The type could also be fitted with an alternate Imaer T2000 M1 engine. The type was developed into the Rotax-powered AMT-200 Super Ximango.

gollark: It's totally a real esolang, it's on the esowiki.
gollark: No, use my esolang, WHY, which is just slowly compiled inefficient C.
gollark: And "text" isn't a format. It has to be structured somehow to be machine-readable.
gollark: What does Java have to do with this?
