Key Takeaways:
Comp Air Aviation debuted its new Comp Air 6.2, an "experimental sport utility" high-wing aircraft featuring a spacious 52-inch wide cabin for six people and a 2,000-pound useful load.
The aircraft is constructed from lightweight, strong carbon fiber, can be equipped with amphibious floats or tricycle gear, and is powered by a 350 hp Lycoming engine for a cruise speed of 175 ktas.
Designed for easy kit building with quick-build features and optional builder assistance, reservations for the Comp Air 6.2 kits are currently open, with delivery slots estimated for 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.
