The single-engine four-seat Part 23-certified high-wing is back. While the design had been just about forgotten in the modern world of aviation — Cessna introduced its latest version about 50 years ago with the 177 Cardinal — Italian airplane-maker Vulcanair is the second to have recently certified a similarly configured airplane after another Italian manufacturer, Tecnam, got the FAA signatures in 2015 for its P2010.
Vulcanair Certifies Four-seat High-wing Single
Key Takeaways:
- The Vulcanair V1.0 is a newly certified, four-seat, high-wing aircraft that revives traditional steel-frame and aluminum construction, diverging from composite designs.
- It features a 180 hp Lycoming engine, a 130-knot cruise speed, three doors for improved access, and a modern glass cockpit including Garmin G500 and GTN 650 avionics.
- The aircraft is being introduced at a notably low price of $259,000, making it significantly more affordable than other certified light high-wing airplanes on the market.
