MCR VLA/Sportster

The MCR VLA/Sportster has a mixed construction. The fuselage is single skin epoxy carbon whilst the flying surfaces are aluminium sheet over foam ribs and a carbon Spar. DynAero already manufacture a successful range of aerobatic aircraft and their clients include the French airforce. The MCR Sportster has been designed to be fast and safest aircraft in its class. Construction should take around 700 hours.

The MCR VLA/Sportster was specially designed to reach top speed while bringing the very best flying vibrations, thanks to the highest level of technology available. Flying the VLA/Sportster guaranties the same sort of satisfaction as being in control of a jet fighter, comfortably covering long journeys with top cruise speed and fuel consumption kept to its minimum.

The MCR01 VLA/Sportster is the lightest and fastest aircraft in its class. Not only is it exceedingly fast but it has delightful light responsive handling. Take off is short and the climb is fast at around 1500 fpm for 100hp aircraft fitted with VP propellers. The optional large front wheel allows for safe operations from short grass airfields. The seating is comfortable and there's enough baggage space for two moderate size soft bags. With a fuel tank capacity of 75 litres and typical consumption of 15 litres per hour range is almost 700nm at 130 kts IAS or much further at altitude.

The geared Rotax engine also makes the aircraft exceptionally quiet and operation from the most sensitive sites is possible. Visibility is outstanding and even pilots used to high wing aircraft are surprised at the forward and down view. With wings detached in a few minutes the plane can be kept in the corner of a hangar, an old transport container, small purpose built shed or even taken home behind your car.
