Key Takeaways:
The Comp Air 6.2 is a new experimental, high-wing, six-place sport utility aircraft kit that made its public debut at EAA AirVenture.
It features a spacious 52-inch-wide cabin, a 2,000-pound useful load, and is constructed from lightweight carbon fiber, designed for swift and confident builder assembly.
Powered by a 325 hp Lycoming engine, the aircraft can achieve a max cruise speed of 175 knots, and kits are currently available for reservation at a special price of $195,000.
“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.
