MXR
Technologies MX2
The MXR
Technologies MX2 aerobatic aircraft is an
all carbon-fiber two place aerobatics sport
plane.
The MX2 project
began in 2001 with the first flight of the
original prototype taking place in 2003. A
great deal of flight testing was done with
that first plane and as a result many
refinements were incorporated into the
production prototype which is the plane
flying in Abu Dhabi March 17, 2006.
The first
production run numbered six aircraft. Of
those six, number one is flying, and the
rest will be flying in the spring of 2006.
