MOOSE

The Murphy Moose is a four to six seat, high wing, aluminum kit aircraft. Gross weight of 3,500 lbs. and a useful load ranging from 1,550 to 1,850 lbs. Engine Options range from a Lycoming IO-540 to a M-14P radial engine giving a horsepower spread from 250HP to 550HP!

 

If you choose to mount the M-14P on your Moose, you will be the proud owner of an aircraft that not only looks like its distant cousin, the de Havilland Beaver, but also sound and perform like one too. Some Moose are equipped with PT6-20 turbine! Regardless of which engine you choose to install, whether it’s on wheel or floats, the Moose has excellent flying qualities, impressive performance, and unparalleled utility!

  • Time proven modified NACA 4415 airfoil
  • Large centre of gravity range.
  • Constant chord with no washout
  • Reliable stall characteristics
  • simple assembly.
