Key Takeaways:
The Comp Air 6.2, an experimental high-wing sport utility aircraft, debuted at EAA AirVenture, featuring a spacious 52-inch wide cabin that can seat six or carry a 2,000-pound useful load.
Constructed from carbon fiber for lightness and strength, the kitplane is designed for swift and confident home assembly using modern fabrication techniques, with optional builder assistance available.
Powered by a 325 hp Lycoming engine, the Comp Air 6.2 boasts a maximum cruise speed of 175 knots, and Comp Air Aviation is currently accepting reservations for kits with estimated delivery by June 2023.
“The next generation of experimental sport utility.”
That’s how the folks at Comp Air Aviation describe the Comp Air 6.2 high-wing speedster. The prototype made its public debut last week at EAA’s AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The prototype aircraft, painted red, white, and blue was displayed on amphibious floats. The airframe can also be mounted on tricycle gear.
