Commuter Craft Qualifies As An LSA
Richard Hogan is working on a better mousetrap in Woodstock, GA which is near Atlanta. His concept is to manufacture a kit-built composite two seat airplane that Hogan says doesn’t compromise on flight performance while still having the advantage of allowing you to drive it from home to the airport comfortably.
Performance is predicted to be impressive. There will be a variety of engines that will be put in the aircraft, determining whether it qualifies as an LSA. Cruise speeds for the 180 hp version will approach 170 mph and have a useful load around 700 lbs. The cabin will accommodate persons who range in height from 5’2” to 6’4” and has a 12 inch console between the two occupants.
The futuristic looking Commuter Craft promises to fill a void in affordable two seat aircraft. The concept is to first build a good airplane that coincidentally has the ability to be driven to the airport. The roadability capability is not the primary emphasis, just a component that will be added after the initial production. The intent of the roadability is for it to be driven from home to the airport , not replace your automobile.
