The next light sport aircraft from Icon?

Okay, okay, this is NOT the next aircraft from the folks at Icon, its me having fun!  As we all wait for the release of their first product, the amphibious A5 model, I decided to challenge myself and imagine a new entry in the LSA segment.  I am a designer by profession, and so what you see below is an example of what I do in my "day job".  I work in the automotive industry, and not with Burt Rutan, so this should be considered a pure flight of fancy!

My concept was to take the trend in avionics, mash it up with the performance and single seat configuration of a monoposto Ducati 848, and then extrapolate the Icon aesthetic with a different wing style.  The intended result is a fast and sporty looking single seat aircraft powered by the venerable Rotax 912S, with a simple, inviting, pilot focused cockpit.

I hope you like it!
