JMB Aircraft VL3 ultralight aircraftVL3
High performance. A carbon-composite two-seater that cruises like a touring aircraft and lands like an ultralight.
Why the VL3?
The VL3 is for pilots who want to go further: long legs across the country, fast climbs over the mountains, and a cabin comfortable enough for a full day in the air.
Design
A slim carbon airframe and a constant-speed propeller keep drag low. Paint, interior and avionics are specified to your taste.

The bars share one scale across our fleet, so you can compare the VL3 directly with the other aircraft we support.
