Liberty Aircraft Making Progress

One Step Closer

Liberty Aerospace announced Wednesday that it has received Type Inspection Authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration for Instrument Flight Rules operation of its single engine XL2 aircraft. The XL2 is currently certified under FAR Part 23 for Visual Flight Rules day and night operations only.

"Thanks to the significant efforts of the Liberty team and the FAA to complete the design and manufacture of a conforming IFR aircraft, we can now enter the final phase of FAA testing for this important initiative," said Liberty Aerospace Chief Operating Officer Paul Bartlett.

The Liberty XL2 aircraft features a carbon fiber composite fuselage, a 48-inch wide cabin and cruise speeds of up to 132 knots (150 mph) while burning only 5 gallons per hour. Base price of the aircraft is $139,900.

Liberty Aerospace is located in Melbourne, Florida. The company currently operates in an office/hangar complex on the north side of the airport. The company is in the process of moving to expanded facilities on the southeast quadrant of the airport.
