ntroduced at EAA AirVenture 2017, the MAKO is the sleek new 4-place design from legendary composite aircraft pioneer Lancair. With Mako, the emphasis is on usable performance — not just ‘bragging rights’ but real world responsiveness you can count on every day. Starting with a sturdy composite airframe that’s built to stringent utility class standards, the Mako is designed for the long haul.

Dual side-mounted throttles make fine engine control a snap, while integral air conditioning...

s there a ‘perfect’ size and shape for an airplane? If so, the Mako’s sensuous body embodies the closest approach yet to the ideal 4-place aircraft. Achieving a blend of clean lines, fuel efficiency, passenger space and docile handling, the Mako sits squarely in the ‘sweet spot’ for a high-utility single engine plane. Mako achieves exceptional efficiency through proven aerodynamics, a strong yet lightweight composite structure, auto-retracting nose gear and more. It’s effectiveness is reflected in range (over 1500 miles), fuel consumption (under 15 gph, normally aspirated) and cruise speed...
