"When passion meets engineering : the RV-10 Pfeil"
A revolutionary push-pull concept inspired by the legendary Dornier Do 335 . Powered by two Rotax 915 engines —lighter, more powerful, more fuel-efficient, and more affordable than a single 260 hp IO-540 . Thanks to turbocharging , it maintains strong performance even at higher altitudes .
The RV-10 Pfeil combines safety and efficiency with an aerodynamically cleaner layout than traditional twin-engine aircraft . Both engines are aligned on the propeller axis , eliminating asymmetric thrust in case of engine failure and significantly reducing rudder workload .
A short, lightweight driveshaft minimizes vibration from the rear engine , while a smaller rear propeller prevents tail strikes . The cross-shaped rudder ensures excellent ground clearance .
More than just an aircraft — this is engineering passion in flight
The safest four-seater in the world .
AI-generated concept — no commercial intent , just pure creativity to inspire .
I think that this concept in the right hands could bring great benefits to general aviation.
We'll have a twin-engine aircraft for the price of an RV-10, that sounds interesting to me.
I confess that I am in love with the RV-10, it is a wonderful plane, docile and easy to fly and fast.
If a good CG balance is achieved, it can maintain the same good characteristics.
One more information.
The RV-10 and the Tecnam P2006T have the same maximum takeoff weight.
And the Tecnam can fly with just a 100hp Rotax 912.
It is aerodynamically dirtier than an RV-10 Push-Pull.
So I believe we will have a great chance of having a great airplane.
And the RV-10 Pfeil still wouldn't have to do all the work of trimming the rudder that would be needed in a conventional twin-engine aircraft like the Tecnam when it loses one of its engines, since the engine is in the center of the plane's axis.
If we already had an RV-6 with two Corvair automotive engines.
Maybe one day we will have someone to do a Push-Pull RV-10 Rotax
