Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen
The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen is a sleek Ukrainian light sport aircraft with a low wing and side-by-side cabin. Its composite structure and retractable-gear options aim at fast touring rather than basic training. It is much less common than the high-wing A-22 family.

The A-32 Vixxen's optional retractable gear is unusual for the light-sport category, where fixed gear is the norm to limit complexity.
