Murphy Radical

Murphy explained the design goals, "feedback from our many existing Rebel owners tells us there is a market for an aircraft with even greater performance, power and STOL capabilities and we have been listening.

"[3] The Radical prototype was first shown at AirVenture in July 2016, and at that time featured racks under each wing to suspend bicycles from, for use as ground transportation at destination.

It has an enclosed cabin accessed by vertically hinged doors, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

It’s the stuff of TV commercials aimed at the youth who enjoy extreme sports—but it’s also an outstanding flying machine for people of all ages who strongly desire to visit the most magnificent, out-of-the-way places on earth.

Once in, there is truly generous room for two big adults; there's no need to rub shoulders, only to scoot the seat forward to reach the rudder pedals and assume a flying position.
