Zenith Aircraft Company

The independent, privately owned company was formed in 1992 in Mexico, Missouri, and is based in 20,000+ sq.

Other than the 801, these designs may be built to meet the FAA's light-sport aircraft (LSA) definition for operation by Sport Pilots.

Zenith Aircraft designs may be built from plans-only (blueprints), selected parts, and from complete kits typically in a few hundred hours.

In February 2014, the company announced that it had shipped 10,000 sets of plans to aircraft builders in over 50 countries.
