ICON Aircraft
ICON Aircraft is an American light-sport aircraft manufacturer founded in 2006 by Kirk Hawkins and Steen Strand and headquartered in Vacaville, California. It designs, builds and sells the ICON A5, an amphibious two-seat S-LSA with folding wings, a spin-resistant airframe, an optional ICON Parachute System and a Rotax 912iS engine, sold alongside flight training, a certified pre-owned program and a service-provider network. The A5 entered production in 2016 and received FAA type certification in the primary category in December 2023. Since April 2025 ICON has been a sister company of Flight Design under Shang Gong Group. ICON is an aircraft manufacturer, not a software vendor: it operates no developer program, publishes no product API, no SDKs and no developer portal. Two machine-readable surfaces do exist on its own domains and are profiled here — the WordPress REST content API behind www.iconaircraft.com, which is anonymously readable and read-only, and the Shopify-hosted Shop ICON merchandise storefront at store.iconaircraft.com, which serves storefront JSON plus a live, anonymous Universal Commerce Protocol MCP endpoint with thirteen catalog, cart, checkout and order tools.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles ICON Aircraft the way a machine reads it — 9 machine-readable artifacts across 3 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — ICON Aircraft scores 38.6/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 43/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile ICON Aircraft
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for ICON Aircraft. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 3
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

MCP Servers 1
Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

MCP SERVERPricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

RATE LIMITSSecurity Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Scopes 1
OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

The organization behind the API
← All providers · Data indexed from github.com/api-evangelist/icon-aircraft · machine-readable index on apis.io
This is an independent, third-party profile of ICON Aircraft, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
