AeroSports Update: MVP Aero To Build A Prototype In Maine

The Minnesota Based Company Will Build The Prototype Of Its Multi-Capable Light Sport Aircraft At Brunswick Landing

When the MVP Aero multipurpose light sport airplane was introduced in its mockup stage at EAA AirVenture 2014, it was a showstopper. Designed for operation on land, water, and snow, it can also be used as a fishing boat or be converted into a camping tent.

The project has been underway for a while and has now developed to the point where MVP Aero has selected a location to build its first prototype, according to an article in the Bangor Daily News. According to the report, the prototype will be constructed at the former Navy Airbase at Brunswick Landing, Maine.

It’s reported that the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority said that MVP Aero made the announcement of their decision to locate at Brunswick Landing at the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, Florida last week.

The article credits Paul Richards, MVP’s Director of Business Development, as saying the company picked the former Navy base because of its advanced airport facilities near the Androscoggin River and Casco Bay for testing the flying boat; local expertise both in composites and boatbuilding; and the ability to build the full prototype in the TechPlace building.

Apparently, this location has been decided on as the building location for the prototype but no firm decision has yet been made as to the location of the actual production facility.

The article cites Richards as saying the company estimates that will take about 18 months to two years to develop the prototype. The aircraft that has been seen at EAA AirVenture in 2014 and 2015 is not a prototype, it is an engineering mockup.
