About the Van's Aircraft RV-14

The Van's RV-14 is a two-seat, side-by-side homebuilt aircraft introduced in 2012 as the company's first clean-sheet design in over a decade. Van's Aircraft, the world's most prolific kit-plane manufacturer, created the RV-14 to combine cross-country comfort with the trademark RV handling that has made the series legendary among amateur builders. Unlike earlier tandem-seat RVs, the -14 offers a roomy 46-inch-wide cabin, full IFR capability, and a useful load approaching 600 pounds, making it genuinely practical for traveling couples.

Powered by Lycoming's IO-390 producing 210 horsepower, the RV-14 cruises at 180 knots true airspeed while burning just 10 gallons per hour, delivering a range exceeding 800 nautical miles with reserves. The aircraft's all-metal construction follows Van's proven methodology: pre-punched skins, match-drilled components, and full builder support that has helped thousands of first-time constructors complete their projects. The wing features a constant-chord design with full-span flaperons, contributing to docile stall characteristics (47 knots dirty, 51 knots clean) and responsive roll rates that preserve the RV DNA.

The RV-14 has become Van's best-selling two-seat model, appealing to builders who want a capable cross-country machine without sacrificing the nimble handling that defines the RV experience. Its 200-knot never-exceed speed and 180-knot maximum structural cruise speed place it firmly in the high-performance amateur-built category, while the spacious cockpit and excellent visibility make it accessible to pilots transitioning from certified trainers. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
