The MXR Technologies MX2
aerobatic aircraft is an all carbon-fiber two place aerobatics sport plane.
The MX2 project began in 2001 with the first
flight of the original prototype taking place in 2003. A great deal of
flight testing was done with that first plane and as a result many
refinements were incorporated into the production prototype which is the
plane flying in Abu Dhabi March 17, 2006.
The first production run numbered six aircraft.
Of those six, number one is flying, and the rest will be flying in the
spring of 2006.
