Positive ground handling is assured thanks to the stylish and accurate "swept-back" landing gear and steerable tail wheel, and in the air equally positive handling is assured thanks to the lightweight airframe, generous wing span and light wing loading, whilst use of the optional flaps allow for realistically slow landing approaches to be made without undue drama!
The Van's RV-9 aircraft is a two-seat (side by side) single-engine, low-wing homebuilt airplane sold in kit form by Van's Aircraft based in Aurora State Airport, Oregon USA. The RV-9 is a tail-wheel equipped aircraft and a development of earlier RV-6 and RV-7 models and externally it looks very similar to both those designs, however an increased wingspan and other airframe changes give it different flying style all together.
The earlier versions of the RV aircraft series were all designed to have light handling, moderate aerobatic capabilities along with fast cruise speeds and short field STOL capabilities. The RV-9 was designed from the start as a two-seat, side-by-side, touring aircraft and as such it forgoes the aerobatic capabilities and the lighter handling for more stability and economy.
Over 375 RV-9s and RV-9As had been completed and flying successfully throughout the USA and other countries. Specifications:
