Will Introduce The Extra NG ... The Next Generation Of Aerobatic Aircraft ... At AirVenture
Extra Aircraft will unveil its next generation of aerobatic aircraft during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. The event will take place at the Aerobatic Center adjacent to Boeing Plaza on Monday at 1:30 pm.
The Extra NG is "a whole new dimension of aerobatic aircraft" according to the company, featuring an all-carbon rigid base frame - a first in aerobatic aviation history. The airplane truly represents a "quantum leap forward" by offering its owner not just a stunningly beautiful silhouette, but also an ergonomically advanced cockpit. It is designed for maximum pilot comfort and equipped with state-of-the-art avionics. Improved aerodynamics permit the highest degree of maneuverability and precise handling up to +10g/-10g while also making the Extra NG a “really fast” aircraft.
“We have achieved the most advanced and comfortable cockpit, the most responsive and harmonious controls ever, and a sleek new look” said Walter Extra. “I’m very excited about this plane and can’t wait to share it with other pilots.”
The Extra brand name has long been synonymous with the highest standards in aerobatic aircraft providing owners with real next-generation technology. In the new NG, we have elevated our excellent workmanship to an even higher level. The NG represents the next step in Extra Aircraft’s 30+ year tradition of experience and innovation.
