The annual EAA air show is like a big family reunion—a place where people come to belong, including those with disabilities.

A team is modifying the gull-wing door of a Van’s RV-10 for improved disability access.

Members of an EAA chapter and a team of engineering students are custom modifying a Van’s RV-10 as a model for pilots with disabilities.

The emotional challenge that comes with the fear of losing contact with the ground can be overwhelming.

"Disability doesn't mean inability."

Did you know that the world's first licensed armless pilot has a Filipino blood?

“Our plan is to build the impossible airplane.” That’s how Jessica Cox described her plans to partner with Van’s Aircraft Company to build an airplane that can be controlled by only the feet.

Jessica Cox was born without arms and will soon begin building an airplane specifically designed for her to fly. Cox earned her Sport Pilot license in 2008 and received the Guinness World Record for being the first licensed armless pilot in history.

Armless sport pilot Jessica Cox, who has inspired scores of aviators and others, announced during EAA AirVenture that she intends to pursue a third-class medical certificate and then move up from an adapted two-seat Ercoupe to a foot-controlled four-seat Van’s Aircraft RV–10 homebuilt aircraft.

Jessica Cox was born with no arms but that hasn't stopped this inspirational pilot who has demonstrated the sky truly is the limit. Dan catches up with her at EAA AirVenture OshKosh 2021 to talk about what it took to get the license and her new RV build that's coming up.

Pilot petitions the experimental community for ideas on the airplane design project.

The world’s first armless pilot Jessica Cox has announced an ambitious airplane conversion project whose purpose is to modify an RV-10 in such a way that controlling the aircraft by foot would be much more convenient.
