Liberty Delivers 1st IFR Certified Aircraft

by Mr. Flight on November 23rd, 2005

Liberty has announced that they have delivered their first IFR certified aircraft.

“The first IFR delivery marks a significant milestone for Liberty Aerospace” commented Tony Tiarks, President and CEO. “We know of no other aircraft manufacturer that has achieved initial certification for a new two seat aircraft in the United States to the latest Part 23 IFR standards, let alone actually deliver a production aircraft. We are extremely proud of the entire Liberty team and their accomplishments.”

The Liberty XL2 aircraft has been designed to meet the growing demand for a new generation aircraft. It is the only production aircraft powered by a piston engine equipped with a full authority digital engine control (FADEC) which simplifies power management and provides greatly increased levels of safety, reliability and maintainability. 

The XL2 features a carbon fiber composite fuselage, a wide 48-inch cabin and cruise speeds of up to 132 knots (150 mph), burning only 5 gallons per hour. The XL2 is modular in design to greatly reduce the cost of routine maintenance and repairs.
