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.
Lancair Brings Back Mako
Key Takeaways:
- Lancair International, under new ownership in Uvalde, Texas, is reintroducing the four-place, fixed-gear Mako aircraft to compete with models like the Cirrus SR22 and Cessna TTx.
- The Mako is powered by a Lycoming IO-540, with expected cruise speeds up to 256 knots (turbocharged), a 600-foot takeoff distance, a 1,300-pound useful load, and efficient fuel consumption.
- All Lancair manufacturing assets have been consolidated and moved to the Uvalde factory, where the company is producing parts for legacy aircraft and new Mako components.
- Lancair will offer a quick-build program for the Mako, expected to take about four weeks, and will begin accepting deposits at EAA AirVenture in late July.
