"When the air traffic controller requested that the Carbon Cub SS make
an “immediate departure,” the airplane didn’t just comply: It
redefined the term.

The 180-horsepower light sport aircraft (LSA) leapt off the ground in
about four airplane lengths carrying two people and more than 20
gallons of fuel skyward at 1,700 feet per minute and 60 MIAS. Built by
CubCrafters in Yakima, Wash., the carbon-fiber rocket ship proves that
LSAs don’t have to be boring"
