The WT10 features a cantilever low-wing, a three to four-seat enclosed cockpit under a forward-hinged bubble canopy, plus a rear seat access hatch, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]

The WT10 is made from composite materials. Its 9.4 m (30.8 ft) span wing has an area of 10.61 m2 (114.2 sq ft) and mounts flaps. The prototype used a 115 hp (86 kW) Rotax 914 turbocharged four-stroke powerplant, driving an MT-Propeller. The gross take off weight will be 750 kg (1,653 lb) for the three seat configuration and 850 kg (1,874 lb) for the four seat configuration.[1]

The aircraft was first flown on 11 April 2013.[1] As of March 2017 it was still indicated on the manufacturer's website as under development.[2]
