The Mustang Aeronautics Mustang II is a two-seat aerobatic sports airplane developed and marketed in the United States for homebuilding. [1] [2] [3]
Robert Bushby acquired the rights to the Long Midget Mustang in 1959 and four years later began development of a two-seat, side-by-side version. This eventually flew in 1966 and plans were made available soon thereafter. [4] Rights to both the Midget Mustang and the Mustang II were sold to Mustang Aeronautics in 1992. [5] A single engine in tractor configuration airplane, the Mustang II features cantilever low-wing, two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear, or, optionally, tricycle landing gear. [2] [3]
The aircraft is made from riveted sheet aluminum with a rounded turtle deck and flat sides and bottom skins. [6] Its 24.2 ft (7.4 m) span wing employs a NACA 64A212 airfoil at the wing root, transitioning to a NACA 64A210 at the wingtip. Standard engines used include the 150 to 160 hp (112 to 119 kW) Lycoming O-320, the 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming O-360 and the fuel-injected 200 hp (149 kW) Lycoming IO-360 four-stroke powerplants. [2] [7] Standard fuel capacity is 25 US gallons, but optional wet wings increase the fuel capacity to 61 US gallons. [8] Several other fuel tank options are available. [9] A folding wing option may be installed. [10]
