Airvan 10

The Airvan 10 is the next stage in the evolution of the Airvan brand. The aircraft is essentially an Airvan 8, stretched and widened to seat 10 with extra fuel payload and a higher usable weight. All safety aspects and design features of the Airvan 8 have been incorporated or improved upon to create a very good 10-seat platform for general light air utility and transport in the gap in between the Airvan 8 and the 12-seat range of turbine powered competitors. Much like the Airvan 8, the Airvan 10 utilises a modern design and principles in order to get the most out of the engine which is smaller than its competitors, without it using too much fuel, but maintaining a good safety factor for hot/high/heavy situations.
The Airvan 10 has achieved CASA and FAA FAR-23 certification and will enter production once final systems testing has been completed.
