What is an RV-10 Experimental Aircraft?

The four-seat RV-10 is a low wing airplane with a fixed tricycle landing gear. The primary structure is aluminum with a composite cabin top and doors. Flown at 2200 lbs, representing a typical two-people-and-three-quarters-fuel weight, it achieved a take-off distance of 360’ and a landing distance of 525’. The climb rate averaged about 1700 fpm. At 75% power and 8000’, airspeed topped 200 mph.
