The XE is a development of the Mosquito Air, with a cockpit fairing and a more sophisticated exhaust system, plus a rotor diameter increased by 40 cm (15.7 in) to support the higher gross weight. The aircraft was designed to comply with the US Experimental – Amateur-built and European microlight aircraft rules.
For example, a helicopter with a 0.30 cu in (4.9 cm 3) engine was a 30 class and a helicopter with a 0.90 cu in (14.7 cm 3) engine was referred to as a 90 class helicopter. The bigger and more powerful the engine, the larger the main rotor blade that it can turn and hence the bigger the aircraft overall.
Its two-bladed rotor has a diameter of 5.5 m (18.0 ft) and a chord of 17 cm (6.7 in). The cyclic control is routed via the centre of the rotor mast and the main rotor transmission is a poly "V" belt. The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 115 kg (254 lb) and a gross weight of 240 kg (529 lb), giving a useful load of 125 kg (276 lb).
