About the Extra Flugzeugproduktions EA-400

The Extra EA-400 represents German aerobatic manufacturer Extra's ambitious entry into the high-performance single-engine touring aircraft market. Introduced in the mid-1990s, this six-seat composite aircraft combined the company's aerobatic heritage with practical cross-country capability, featuring a 300-horsepower Textron Lycoming engine and pressurized cabin — unusual luxuries in a piston single. The EA-400 was designed to compete directly with established American designs like the Piper Malibu and Cessna 210, offering European engineering and a sleek composite airframe with retractable gear.

With a maximum cruise speed around 235 knots and service ceiling of 25,000 feet, it delivered genuine high-altitude performance that put it at the top of its class. The type's production run was limited, however, with only around 50 aircraft completed before Extra shifted focus back to its core aerobatic line. Today the EA-400 remains a rare sight, prized by owners who appreciate its blend of speed, comfort, and distinctive Extra build quality, though parts support and maintenance expertise can be challenging given the small fleet.
