Comp Air Aviation is pleased to announce the CA 6.2

The next generation of experimental sport utility aircraft has arrived. With a fully Carbon Composite construction, the CA6.2 provides an aerodynamic airframe large enough to comfortably seat 6 adults, plus baggage. 350 horsepower will take you and your family to places you've been dreaming of, all while cruising at 175 knots. The fixed landing gear gives the aircraft the ability to take your 2000 pound usefull load into rugged terrain where you are unable to take a retractable gear aircraft. Combine all of those attributes and you have a wonderful aircraft that can be used by your family, or as a utility aircraft.

Whether you plan to build this aircraft yourself, or use a builder assistance program, the quick build features that are molded into the composite parts will get you airborne much faster than previous generations of composite experimentals. Our new assembly techniques remove the need for complicated lamination techniques by joining formed parts with specialized adhesives, making this a robust, but light airframe.
