Murphy Rebel
Template:Short description Template:Infobox aircraft The Murphy Rebel is a two- or three-seat, strut braced, high wing, taildragger monoplane which is sold in kit form by Murphy Aircraft in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada.[1][2][3][4][5]
Development
The Rebel is a STOL aircraft and was designed to be a personal-use bush plane. It can operate from short, unimproved airstrips and can carry a useful load of up to 750 lbs.[3][6]
The aircraft features a strut-braced high-wing, a two or three seat enclosed cabin accessed via doors, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. The aircraft is made from sheet aluminum. Its 30.0 ft (9.1 m) span wing employs a NACA 4415 mod airfoil, has an area of 149 sq ft (13.8 m2) and is equipped with flaps.[4][5][7]
The recommended engines for the Rebel are the 160 hp (120 kW) Lycoming O-320, the 116 hp (87 kW) Lycoming O-235 and the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912, although Bayerl et al. note that the aircraft does not perform well with less than 100 hp (75 kW).[4][5][6]
