Fastest High Quality, High Wing, Single Engine Aircraft

Hi,

 

Something around 180+ knots.

 

Thanks

High wing single engine eh? That has thrown a curveball

Let me see.. I will start this off by eliminating all Cessna's and Tecnams - how about the Aerocomp tail dragger - or better yet the Extra 500

(link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_EA-500)

High-wing, Single, 180 kts? Nope. Nothing leaps to mind. Nearest might be Carenado Cessna 337H Skymaster.

 

High wing= check

Fast = check (cruises at 160 kts)

Single = Nope, but an in-line twin, so good visibility

 

Cheers,

 

Noel.

The C210 will do about 180 (decent power setting) KTAS @ altitude...

 

Carenado's is pretty good - I like it.

 

If we're talking indicated... I don't know.

Ah huh. Just what I thought. Hard to find. Well the EA-500 is pretty fast but have never seen one for FSX.

Ryan, I have the 337 - nice plane. I will check out the c210.

 

Thanks Guys

Well I totally misread your requirements - thought this was just a discussion about aircraft in general and not just for FSX.

This is how misinterpretations can be the cause of disasters (happily in this case it is minor) :Just Kidding:
