Evektor Cobra Plane

Another plane that made its U.S. debut at AirVenture was the Evektor Cobra. The Cobra, which is from the Czech Republic, is a four-to-five seater that is all metal, and has a retractable gear. The benefits of the metal frame are that it is safe and durable and that the plane can be kept outside. There are two planes in the series, the entry level VUT100-120i Cobra and the VUT100-131i Super Cobra which will have a little more power and a longer range. Both engines will have three bladed, composite, constant speed MT propellers and will carry 90 gallons of fuel. The Cobra has a Sagem glass cockpit and a roomy cabin with gull-wing doors for the front occupants and a third door for the rear bench seat. FAA certification and certification is hoped to be done by June 2007 and then the planes will be ready for delivery. The Cobra should sell for $260,000 and the Super Cobra will sell for $320,000.
