The Comp Air 10 is a
turboprop-powered light civil utility aircraft manufactured in
kit form. Very large for a homebuilt aircraft, it is configured as a mainly conventional high-wing
monoplane with either
taildragger or tricycle
undercarriage. Its close-set twin tails are an unusual design feature for an aircraft in its class, intended to ensure that the aircraft can be parked inside standard-size
hangars.[1]
A total of eleven examples had been completed and flown by the end of 2011.[1]
The company website does not list it as being in production in 2022.[2]
