MXS Aircraft Mxs

Single Piston

The MXS is a single-seat, high-performance aerobatic aircraft designed and manufactured by MX Aircraft in France, first flown in 2005 and certified under European CS-23 regulations. Built specifically for unlimited aerobatic competition and advanced aerobatic training, the MXS features a carbon-fiber composite airframe, a 315-horsepower Lycoming AEIO-580 engine, and a symmetrical airfoil optimized for inverted flight and snap maneuvers. With a roll rate exceeding 400 degrees per second and a power-to-weight ratio that rivals purpose-built aerobatic types, the MXS competes directly with aircraft like the Extra 300 and Edge 540 in the world aerobatic championship circuit. The type has been flown by multiple national aerobatic teams and holds several records in freestyle aerobatic performance, combining French engineering precision with American powerplant reliability. Its relatively light empty weight of around 750 pounds and a never-exceed speed of 222 knots give it an exceptional performance envelope for a single-seat aerobatic machine, while the spacious cockpit accommodates pilots up to six feet tall wearing parachutes. SkyMeter has tracked 9 flights across 3 airframes and 2 operators, with activity spanning routes.
