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. Painstaking aerodynamic refinement helps you get the maximum out of every gallon of fuel without compromising the Mako’s nimble, yet docile handling characteristics. Carefully shaped LED wingtips minimize...

hen we looked at the design of other four-seat airplanes, we saw plenty of room for improvement. And more room is what you get. Mako’s interior is a spacious 46 inches across and 48 inches in height. Along with the generous shoulder and headroom, passengers enjoy outstanding visibility through large windows and the one-piece windshield. Space is also maximized in the ample baggage area, where you can carry all the gear you need for a lengthy trip. To keep your passengers seated in comfort, we’ve included inflatable door seals that keep the cabin shielded from whistling wind and engine noise....

rom the moment you settle into the seat and pull the gullwing door closed, you’ll feel like the Mako was made for you. The sleek aesthetic of the aircraft’s exterior is echoed in the purposeful interior design.

ust below Mako’s panoramic windscreen lies a clean, uncluttered instrument panel, designed to embrace the pilot with essential information and superb visibility. The ‘pistol-grip’ style control stick emerges from a center console designed to easily accommodate a Garmin GTN-750 Com/Nav/GPS unit. Simple, intuitive controls for engine start, fuel and essentials are fingertip-accessible, while ample space for dual Garmin touchscreen PFD/MFD displays resides in direct view of both front seat occupants. Dual side-mounted throttles make fine engine control a snap, while integral air conditioning vents...

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 (180...

E-AB aircraft offer superior value and performance, increased flexibility, allowing you to utilize the best technology, and the opportunity to become intimately familiar with the aircraft in a way that nonbuilders will never be. For newcomers to the E-AB world, though, the prospect of building their own plane introduces them to unfamiliar territory. Lancair’s Builder Assist Program is here to answer your questions and guide you through the process of assembling...
