About the Vans Aircraft RV-10

The Van's RV-10 is a four-seat, low-wing homebuilt aircraft introduced in 2003 as the company's first design intended for family cross-country travel rather than aerobatics. Built from a kit by amateur constructors under FAA Experimental-Amateur Built rules, the RV-10 combines the performance heritage of Van's legendary two-seat RV series with genuine four-adult capability and IFR-friendly systems. Powered typically by a 260-horsepower Lycoming IO-540, the RV-10 cruises at 180-200 knots true airspeed while burning around 13 gallons per hour, performance that rivals or exceeds many certified four-seat singles at a fraction of the acquisition cost.

The type's clean aerodynamics and relatively high wing loading give it excellent cross-country manners and stability in turbulence, though it demands more precise speed management on approach than trainers like the Cessna 172. With a useful load around 1,050 pounds and range exceeding 800 nautical miles, the RV-10 has become the gold standard for builders seeking a capable traveling machine. Over 3,500 kits have been delivered worldwide since introduction, and the type is a common sight at fly-ins and on instrument approaches into busy Class B airports, a testament to its versatility and owner-builder appeal.
