Murphy Yukon To Debut At AirVenture
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 12:08 pm
From May 30, 2007 issue of AVweb
Murphy Aircraft of British Columbia, Canada, will be showing its new
four-seat Murphy Yukon kit aircraft to the public for the first time
this July at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis. The Yukon is the
original concept design behind two of the company's high-wing
taildraggers -- the Super Rebel and the Moose. "We started this
aircraft 10 years ago," said Darryl Murphy. "This is an aircraft that
will allow families and friends to leave for weekend fishing or
camping expeditions -- an 'SUV of the skies.'" The all-metal Yukon is
similar in size to the four-seat Moose, but by replacing the Moose's
radial engine with a standard 180-hp Lycoming O-360 or equivalent it
will burn about half the fuel. It will also be available with either
tricycle or tailwheel gear. The aircraft weighs in at 2,550 pounds
gross and can carry a payload of 1,150 pounds.
