The MXR Technologies MXS
aerobatic aircraft is an all carbon-fiber two place aerobatics sport plane.
The MXS 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.
MX Aircraft which has fast become a name
synonymous with the specialty production and sales of next generation sport,
aerobatic and race aircraft. The MXS and the MX2 models are built for speed,
responsive handling and rapid maneuverability. That is exactly what they
deliver and why five of the world's most famous pilots chose to fly MXS
planes in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship Series.
The MXS aircraft is built with state of the art design and technology using
advanced aerodynamic efficiency and made entirely of 'Aerospace' grade
'Toray' carbon fiber which is used in most all military aircraft and gives
outstanding strength and durability, allowing the aircraft to withstand the
force needed to compete in the Red Bull Races and other aerobatic flying
sports.
