The Sonerai is a small, VW powered homebuilt aircraft designed by John Monnett in the early 1970s. The Sonerai began as a single seat mid-wing Formula-V racer. The Sonerai soon evolved into a two seat model called the Sonerai II. Later versions included a low wing Sonerai IIL, a tricycle gear Sonerai IILT and finally the stretched Sonerai IILS and IILST.
