About the Vans Aircraft RV-10

The Vans RV-10 is a four-seat, single-engine kit aircraft that has become one of general aviation's most successful homebuilt designs since its introduction in 2003. Designed by Richard VanGrunsven and manufactured as a kit by Van's Aircraft in Aurora, Oregon, the RV-10 was the company's first four-place model and filled a significant gap in the experimental aircraft market for builders seeking a practical cross-country family airplane with near-certified-aircraft performance. Unlike its aerobatic two-seat RV siblings, the RV-10 prioritizes comfort, load-carrying capability, and docile handling over aggressive maneuverability.

Powered typically by a 260-horsepower Lycoming IO-540 engine, the RV-10 cruises at approximately 170 knots true airspeed while carrying four adults and baggage, performance that rivals or exceeds many factory-built singles at a fraction of the acquisition cost. The aircraft features a low-wing configuration with a spacious cabin, side-by-side front seating with a bench rear seat, and a useful load around 1,000 pounds depending on builder choices. Its all-metal construction follows Van's proven methodology of pre-punched aluminum components that simplify the building process, with most builders completing their aircraft in 1,800 to 2,500 hours over two to four years.

The RV-10's operating envelope reflects its cross-country mission: a never-exceed speed of 200 knots, structural cruising speed of 180 knots, and gentle stall characteristics with full-flap stall speed around 47 knots. The design's forgiving handling and excellent visibility make it popular among transitioning pilots, while its 800-nautical-mile range and IFR capability appeal to serious travelers. Over 3,000 kits have been sold worldwide, making it one of the most popular four-seat homebuilts ever produced. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
