OUR SPITFIRE
Satisfying the modern-day aviator takes a great deal of attention and effort. That’s why we have simplified all systems to optimize flight safety, efficiency, and have cut down on pilot workload-- making the plane easy to fly for all pilots.
Every aspect of this aircraft has been designed with safety in mind. Whether taxiing, flying or preparing to land--its full carbon-fiber infused body and highest quality aviation steel insures peak performance--being both lightweight and durable....
THE SYMBOL OF VICTORY
ABOUT US
Since 2005, the Royal Horse Aviation company has dedicated all resources and personnel to develop an aircraft unlike anything the aviation industry has seen before. The decision was made to start the development and engineering of a full-scale Spitfire MK IX completely built from wingtip to wingtip, nose to tail, with carbon fiber.
Royal Horse Aviation aims to recreate the historic Spitfire for the modern aviator--an aircraft that has captured the hearts and minds of all aviation enthusiasts around the world for decades.
Rarity and high cost make it difficult to obtain these famous warbirds. The dream of Pieter Swart, the founder of RHA was to build a precise scale Spitfire for the modern-day aviator that would meet and exceed the original Spitfire's safety, speed, aerobatics, and maneuverability. 8 years of combining complex design and engineering has made that dream a reality.
Royal Horse Aviation understands that when someone owns a Spitfire, they aren't just buying a plane, but are also becoming a part of aviation history. The rich romance of this warbird does not have to be enjoyed alone; that's why we designed a single seat and tandem two-seater with full flight controls and instruments in the back seat--allowing this aircraft to be enjoyed with a friend or family member, or for training or simply for recreational flight.
Time to Suit Up.
The first flight is expected to take off March 2020.
