At Wasatch Aero, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of personal aviation and creating aircraft that inspire and empower pilots. While we are currently focused on bringing the Wasatch SD3 to life, we are already looking towards the future with the development of the Wasatch SD3MT, our turbine-powered composite aircraft.
A Vision of Enhanced Capability
The SD3M, where “M” stands for “Mosaic,” represents a significant leap forward in our aircraft design. Building upon the foundation of the SD3, the SD3M will offer:
Increased Payload Capacity
The SD3M will feature a higher maximum gross weight, allowing for greater versatility and the ability to carry more passengers or cargo.
Turbine Power
Equipped with a powerful turbine engine, the SD3M will deliver exceptional performance, speed, and range.
