Kitfox Addresses The STOL Mission

Kitfox Improves Short Field Capabilities Of Their S7 Super Sport Airplane

Kitfox has come up with another option for their proven S7 Super Sport design.  Recently designed, and on display at EAA AirVenture this year, is a NEW STi (STOL Inspired) retrofit capable wing option, that cuts take-off and landing ground roll by more than 150', and only reduces the cruise speed by less than 25 mph.

Even though S7 Super Sport take-off and landing ground rolls are around 300 feet - which usually suffice for island beaches, river sand bars, or the mountain backcountry - Kitfox Aircraft says they continued to get requests for shorter take-off and landing distances. According to Kitfox, the S7 new capabilities literally allow owners to fly from their back yard or driveway.

Kitfox also says that the airplane being displayed at AirVenture has what they referred to as the Shock Monster 2.0 landing gear.

John McBean, President of Kitfox Aircraft LLC, invites you to swing on by the North Aircraft display (booth 634 and 635), and take a look at what they flew 1200 miles from the factory in Homedale Idaho.
