About the RV-10

The Vans Aircraft RV-10 is a homebuilt, single-engine, low-wing touring airplane originating in the United States. Designed to accommodate four occupants, it provides a stable layout with a tricycle landing gear and gull-winged cabin doors instead of traditional canopies. It is intended for pilots seeking greater payload capacity and stable cross-country performance rather than aerobatic handling.

Developed as the first four-seat model in a popular series, the prototype flew in mid-2003, with thousands completed by builders worldwide. The construction relies on aluminum airframes combined with composite cabin structures, utilizing pre-drilled rivet holes to streamline the amateur building process. Builders can also install an optional ballistic parachute system in the baggage bay.
