The Lynx will provide the most spectacular view of planet earth and the black sky above.
Alone with the pilot, the passenger will benefit from an extraordinary and personal experience.

XCor Aerospace: pioneering space tourism
The Lynx is an aircraft engineered by XCor Aerospace, a US company based in the Mojave Desert, California. Founded in 1999 by four talented engineers, Xcor is one of the participants to the Ansari XPrize which recognized the efforts to promote space tourism – contest where Rick Searfoss was Chief Judge, and now test pilot for the Lynx. Xcor Aerospace is one of the leading suppliers of NASA, and especially for propulsion and guiding equipment of the shuttles in space.
The Lynx is not the first project done by XCor Aerospace. The company has already demonstrated its talent with the EZ Rocket, a small rocket propelled plane which validated the capacity of the engines to be shut off and restarted as well as being reusable. The EZ rocket plane has been demonstrated at numerous testings and airshows in California.
