| Description |
An Extra EA-260, on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The Extra Aircraft company was established in 1980 by Walter Extra, a German aerobatic pilot. The Extra 260 is a one-of-a kind aircraft designed and hand-built by Walter Extra. First flown in 1986, it can roll 360 degrees in a single second and climb 4,000 feet per minute vertically. It blends traditional and high-tech construction: The fuselage is made of steel tubing, but the wings are wood. The vertical and horizontal tail surfaces are made of graphite composites, and the aileron (which is almost the entire length of the wing) is made of carbon fiber. It houses a Textron Lycoming AEIO-540-D4A6 engine. The Extra 260 was flown by Patty Wagstaff. She became the first woman to win the U.S. National Aerobatic Championship in 1991. She did it again in 1992 and 1993. Wagstaff donated this plane to the Smithsonian after her 1993 win. |
