About the Vans RV-9A
The Vans RV-9A is a two-seat, single-engine experimental aircraft from the popular RV series of kit-built airplanes designed by Vans Aircraft. The RV-9A features a nosewheel configuration (the RV-9 is the tailwheel variant) and is designed for efficient cross-country flying with a focus on stability, comfort, and fuel economy rather than pure aerobatic performance.
Burning approximately 6 gallons per hour, the RV-9A is one of the most fuel-efficient cross-country aircraft available, with variable hourly costs averaging just $85 and annual fixed costs near $10,000. Its side-by-side seating, good visibility, and docile handling make it a comfortable touring airplane for pilots who want to cover distance economically.
The RV-9A appeals to builder-pilots who want a practical, efficient two-seat airplane for regular cross-country flying and weekend adventures. Unlike the more aerobatic RV-7 and RV-8, the RV-9A prioritizes stability and ease of handling, making it an excellent choice for pilots who value a smooth ride and predictable characteristics. The massive Vans Aircraft builder community, extensive online resources, and active fly-in culture make the RV-9A one of the best-supported experimental aircraft projects available.
Produced 1995.
