More questions about the Xenon

How much does a Xenon cost?
The median asking price for a Xenon on PlaneFox is EUR 46,000, measured across the Xenon listings on the site today. Prices run from EUR 15,000 for older, higher-time airframes up to EUR 55,000 for newer, low-time aircraft. Year of manufacture, airframe hours, avionics and condition account for most of that spread.
What is the price range for a used Xenon?
Xenon aircraft listed on PlaneFox range from EUR 15,000 to EUR 55,000, with a median asking price of EUR 46,000. Late model years with low airframe hours and a modern glass panel sit at the top of that range; early airframes with high hours and analogue instruments sit at the bottom.
How many Xenon aircraft are for sale right now?
PlaneFox lists 8 Xenon aircraft for sale right now, gathered from the broker and dealer sites it watches. The count moves through the week as those sources are re-read. Because PlaneFox reads the same listings repeatedly over time, it also shows which have cut their asking price and which have sold.
Where can I find a Xenon for sale?
Every Xenon PlaneFox can see is on this page — 8 of them, gathered from the broker and dealer sites it re-reads continuously. Most are listed in Germany (4). Each listing links straight through to the seller, so a Xenon in another country is worth considering rather than filtering out.
What should I check when buying a used Xenon?
On a used Xenon, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Celier Aviation Xenon

Aircraft overview

The Celier Aviation Xenon is a two-seat, enclosed-cabin gyroplane developed by Celier Aviation in Poland in the mid-2000s, with production and development continuing into the 2010s through related Polish gyroplane manufacturing activity. It sits in the light sport and recreational gyroplane category, using an unpowered main rotor for lift and a rear-mounted pusher engine for thrust. The Xenon matters in the used market because it combined side-by-side seating, a fully enclosed cabin and relatively modern composite construction at a time when many gyroplanes were still open-cockpit machines.

Performance & specifications

Typical performance depends on engine, rotor, propeller and national certification category. Most Celier Aviation Xenon aircraft are powered by Rotax 912 or turbocharged Rotax 914 four-cylinder engines, commonly in the 100 to 115 hp range. Cruise speeds are generally quoted around 80 to 90 knots, with practical range commonly in the region of a few hundred nautical miles depending on fuel capacity and reserve policy. Useful load varies by empty weight and equipment fit, so individual weight and balance records are important. Published service ceiling figures also vary by configuration, but the Xenon is normally operated as a day VFR recreational aircraft rather than a high-altitude touring platform.

Cabin & avionics

The Xenon has a side-by-side two-seat cabin with doors, a center-mounted rotor mast and good forward and lateral visibility. The enclosed cockpit gives it better weather protection and passenger comfort than open gyroplanes, while still retaining the short-field, low-speed handling qualities associated with autogyros. Avionics are not standardized like a factory-built certified airplane. Used examples may have basic analog flight instruments, engine monitoring, VHF radio, transponder, handheld or panel GPS, or light-sport glass displays from suppliers such as Dynon, MGL or similar. Buyers should verify radio fit, transponder compliance and any national equipment requirements.

Buying & value

Condition, documentation and build standard drive Xenon values more than model year alone. Important checks include airframe hours, engine hours and calendar status, rotor blade condition, prerotator operation, propeller condition, control system play, corrosion around fittings, maintenance records and any accident or hard-landing history. Common differences include Rotax 912 versus Rotax 914 power, cabin trim, avionics updates, propeller changes and country-specific registration category. In current PlaneFox used-market data, Celier Aviation Xenon asking prices average about EUR 46,000, with observed listings from roughly EUR 15,000 to EUR 55,000. That places it as an accessible enclosed two-seat gyroplane, but careful inspection is essential because support history and individual configuration can vary significantly.
