  • The Mako is positioned to compete with models like the Cirrus SR22, offering cruise speeds up to 256 knots (turbocharged) and a 1,300-pound useful load.
  • Lancair will offer a quick-build program for the Mako and plans to begin taking deposits at EAA AirVenture in late July.

Lancair International, which was taken over earlier this year by Mark and Conrad Huffstutler in Uvalde, Texas, is bringing back the four-place, fixed-gear Mako as a competitor to the Cirrus SR22 and Cessna TTx. The Mako is closely related to the TTx, which started out as the Columbia 350/400 – a certified sidestep to Lancair’s experimental product line.
