The Ibis GS-240 is a Colombian homebuilt aircraft that was designed and produced by Ibis Aircraft of Cali. When it was available the aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.[1]
The GS-240 is no longer offered by the manufacturer as part of their product line.[2]
The aircraft was designed as a light-sport aircraft, specifically for the American market and features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cabin accessed via doors, fixed tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]
The aircraft is made from sheet aluminum "all-metal" construction. Its wing is supported by V-stuts and jury struts. The GS-240 was supplied as a quick-build kit, with most major fabrication completed prior to delivery to allow for quick assembly time.[1]
The standard day, sea level, no wind, take off distance over a 15 m (49 ft) obstacle is 91 m (299 ft).[1]
As of April 2017, the design does not appear on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved special light-sport aircraft.[3]
In May 2014 no examples were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration.[4]
