MX Aircraft MXS
The MXS is a single-seat aerobatic aircraft made of carbon fiber and built by MX Aircraft, a manufacturer located in North Carolina. The MXS-R is a race variant flown by several pilots in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship. The planes are all-composite in construction, piston-powered, low-wing monoplanes. They are produced both in kit form for amateur construction, and completed ready to fly at the factory.[1] The two-seat version is called the MX2 and has reached notable fame, becoming vice-world aerobatics advanced champion in 2010. There are only 12 MXS' in existence.
