It was launched in 2005. Design and development The MXP-1000 Tayrona, named after a Colombian National Park is a development of the MXP-800 Fantasy, itself a development of Aeroandina's Zenair CH 701-based MXP-740/750 series of high wing, side-by-side configuration ultralights. It is mostly constructed from aluminium alloy, with a steel cage around the cockpit which is under the wing and cutaway at the rear. The constant chord wing is braced to the lower fuselage with pairs of V-form, faired lift struts assisted by jury struts. The first four Tayronas had flaperons but all later aircraft have flaps. The leading edge slats of earlier MXP models have been abandoned to increase cruising speed. The angular fin and rudder has sweep on its leading edge and the tailplane, set on top of the fuselage, is also swept. The Tayrona has a tricycle undercarriage, with cantilever aluminium spring legs for the mainwheels and a steerable nosewheel with rubber springing. The wheels may bespatted.

In the United States, AMD planned to adapt the design to military use as the AMD MXP-150 Patriot but this was not proceeded with.
