The Murphy SR2500 Super Rebel is a Canadian four-seat monoplane designed by Murphy Aircraft of British Columbia. The type was sold as a kit for home construction, but production ended by 2008.[1]
Designed as a larger four-seat version of the Rebel, the Super Rebel is an all-metal high-wing braced monoplane with two rows of side-by-side seats for four.[2] The prototype first flew in November 1995 and was powered by a 250hp (186kW) Lycoming O-540-4A5 driving a two-bladed constant-speed propeller.[2] The prototype had a tricycle landing gear but the standard model (SR2500TD) has a tailwheel landing gear.[2] The rear bench seat can be removed to hold luggage and the Super Rebel has a separate baggage door on the port side behind the passenger door.[2] The aircraft is designed for any engine between 134 to 186kW (180 to 250hp) and also has larger fuel tanks as an option (increasing range to 1350km (839 miles).[2]
