Walter Extra to discuss new
aircraft at Oshkosh 2007
Extra Aircraft
Corporation celebrates yet another exciting milestone in the company’s
history as it introduces the Extra 300/SR, a new race aircraft, making
its debut in the Interlaken, Switzerland Red Bull Air Race July 14 –
15, 2007.
The new Extra 300/SR,
piloted by Corsica’s Nicholas Ivanoff, has a number of significant
design changes to improve performance on the racecourse. A derivative of
the reliable single-seat Extra 300S, the 300/SR’s new wing design and
modified tail surfaces have been specifically developed to reduce weight
and drag, while improving acceleration and cornering.
The Extra 300/SR
incorporates a number of the enhancements currently found in the Extra
300SHP, the Unlimited air show aircraft flown by aerobatic champion and
top air show performer Michael Goulian. The new 550 kg race aircraft is
powered by a 330-hp Lycoming AEIO 580 Thunderbolt engine and MT
propeller.
Extra aerobatic aircraft
are currently distributed in the United States by Southeast Aero in St.
Augustine, Florida. For more information about the entire Extra Aircraft
lineup, go to www.ExtraAircraft.com
