A day at the races

The MXR Technologies MXS aerobatic aircraft is an all carbon-fiber two place aerobatics sport plane.

The MXS 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.

MX Aircraft which has fast become a name synonymous with the specialty production and sales of next generation sport, aerobatic and race aircraft. The MXS and the MX2 models are built for speed, responsive handling and rapid maneuverability. That is exactly what they deliver and why five of the world's most famous pilots chose to fly MXS planes in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship Series.
The MXS aircraft is built with state of the art design and technology using advanced aerodynamic efficiency and made entirely of 'Aerospace' grade 'Toray' carbon fiber which is used in most all military aircraft and gives outstanding strength and durability, allowing the aircraft to withstand the force needed to compete in the Red Bull Races and other aerobatic flying sports.
