Comp Air 10

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Comp Air 10 is a turboprop-powered light civil utility aircraft manufactured in kit form. Very large for a homebuilt aircraft, it is configured as a largely conventional high-wing monoplane with either taildragger or tricycle undercarriage. Its close-set twin tails are an unusual design feature for aircraft in its class, intended to ensure that the aircraft can be parked inside standard-size hangars.[1]

A total of eleven examples had been completed and flown by the end of 2011.[1]
