The Celier XeWing (contraction of ''Xenon Wing'') is a Polish ultralight aircraft that was designed by Frenchman Raphael Celier and produced by his company Celier Aviation of Jaktorów-Kolonia, Poland. It was introduced at AERO Friedrichshafen in 2009. The aircraft was intended to be supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.〔Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12'', page 34. WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. ISSN 1368-485X〕 By 2012 the company was no longer advertising the XeWing and it is unlikely that it progressed beyond the prototype stage. ==Design and development== The XeWing was developed by mating the fuselage from the Celier Xenon 2 gyroplane with a newly designed strut-braced parasol wing in place of the rotor system. The aircraft was intended to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.〔 The aircraft wing is made from aluminum sheet, has a span of and an area of . The wing can be folded for ground transportation and storage. The standard engine specified was the Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant.〔 Despite the commonality of the fuselage and engine package with the Xenon 2, the XeWing cannot swap its fixed wing for a rotor system.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Celier XeWing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
