PEYTON, CO--10_17_06- ABOVE: Pilot and designer Bill VonDane, left on ground, works on the engine while Jeff Thomas, right, an investor in the company, checks out the engine of the plane. Paul Klahn is at left sitting on the wing. Aeronautical Engineer Paul M Klahn is the president/CEO of Nexaer. A company based in Colorado Springs, Colorado that is building a new aircraft for the general aviation sector. Klahn's background in product design and composite manufacturing. His idea is to apply the concepts and production approaches of the automoble industry to small planes in the General Aviation sector. His plan is to manufacture and sell a two-seat personal aircraft with a 54" wide cabin, side-by-side seating, and an automotive-style interior and instrument panel. It can take off at less than 300ft at sea level, cruise at 140 mph, and travel at least 600 miles. Nexaer is pushing forward with the creation of their first flying prototype aircraft, which made it's first flight today at the small airport in Peyton. With a comfortable cabin, modern easy-to-use instruments, an autopilot, and an emergency parachute all priced below $100,000 Nexaer is hoping to set a new benchmark for personal air travel.
