Design and development
Developed from the ISON Airbike, the AeroMax features a strut-braced high-wing, a single-seat open cockpit that is 14 in wide, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. The narrow fuselage allows the pilot to sit in the cockpit with his or her legs on the outside of the aircraft, with feet on the external rudder pedals.

The aircraft is made from pre-fabricated metal components and CNC laser-cut plywood parts. Its 28.4 ft span wing has an area of 127.7 sqft, is supported by "V" struts and features fiberglass drooped wingtips. The main landing gear is made from sprung steel and mounts drum brakes. The elevator trim system is electric. The aircraft's recommended engine the 50 hp Hirth F-23 two-stroke powerplant. Tricycle landing gear, tundra tires and floats are under development. Construction time from the supplied kit is estimated as 200–300 hours.

A tandem two seat model is also under development by the company.

As of August 2012, the design does not appear on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved special light-sport aircraft.
