The Air Command Commander Elite Side-by-Side was an experimental twin-seat autogyro developed by Air Command International as a variant of their successful single-seat Commander Elite design. While the base Commander Elite first flew in the 1990s, the side-by-side configuration was proposed but never entered production, with Air Command focusing instead on their proven tandem-seat models. The aircraft featured an open cockpit design with twin side-by-side seating, powered by a single Rotax 582 engine producing 64 horsepower. Air Command International of Caddo Mills, Texas specialized in kit-built autogyros for the experimental aircraft market. AviatorDB tracks 7 Air Command aircraft currently registered in the FAA database. The ICAO type designator for this aircraft model is CMDE.
