Key Takeaways:
Van's Aircraft celebrated its 50th anniversary at EAA AirVenture 2022 with the debut of its new high-wing RV-15 aircraft.
The RV-15 is Van's first high-wing design, targeting the backcountry market, and impressed crowds with its large size, beefy landing gear, and fat tires.
While the RV-15 is generating significant interest, Van's is not yet accepting orders as test flights are ongoing to finalize the design before production.
