The Oxai Aircraft M2 Skywave, a Shanghai-made two-seater amphibious light sport aircraft, successfully took off and landed on the Dishui Lake in Shanghai on its maiden test flight yesterday.

The single-piston aircraft, among the smallest of its kind in the world, carried out low-flying maneuvers around the lake at the southeast tip of the city.

The M2 Skywave can fly up to 1,000 kilometers on 100 liters of fuel. The empty weight of the airframe, which is 90 percent carbon-fiber composite, is 350 kilograms and maximum takeoff weight is 650kg.
