[1] The XT series features an XT carriage and a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.

Its 9.9 m (32.5 ft) span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame control bar.

The XT was the first carriage used by Airborne that incorporated landing gear shock absorbers.

It also uses a gas strut to lower and raise the wing for rigging it.

Powerplants include the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912 four cylinder, four stroke, horizontally-opposed aircraft engine and the 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 twin cylinder, two stroke, inline engine.
