Velocity, the company formed in 1984 by Danny Maher to develop and market four-seat canard aircraft based on the successful Long- EZ design, now makes one’s dream of building and flying their own aircraft a reality.

Velocity is a high performance aircraft that can chalk up 1000 mile cross country trips at speeds in excess of 200 mph (approximately 322 km/h) and at the same time, seats four adults comfortably and still has room for luggage.

Now owned by the Swings family, who bought over the company from Maher in 1992, the Swings wasted no time in taking their love for aircraft, and the business further. With an aggressive marketing campaign and new models and kit designs, the company has become a one-stop shop for everything one needs to make this dream a reality. The basic kit starts at US31,950.
