The Airvan 10 by Mahindra is an innovative blend of proven legacy and new technology.
Developed to be an entirely new FAR 23-certified aircraft, the Airvan 10 retains the Airvan 8’s aerodynamic design and shares many of its production parts, minimizing development and production costs.
Upon certification, the Airvan 10 will have the lowest acquisition and operating costs in its class. Combine that with a full-fuel payload of nearly 1,400 pounds (635 kg), capacity for ten, and a certification to the latest safety standards and you have a perfect ten.
Economical, reliable, rugged and safe, the Airvan 10 is a compelling workhorse for any business’ bottom line.
Rugged Build
The Airvan 10, much like its piston-powered predecessor the Airvan 8, has been built to handle rugged terrains and short, semi-prepared airstrips. The Airvan 10 is ideal for operators in remote areas. From transporting cargo to isolated communities to making short passenger hauls to island resorts, the Airvan 10 delivers.
50” Sliding Door
The Airvan 10’s easy-to- operate sliding door allows clear access to the cabin, and at 50” (1.27 m) wide, entire pallets can be loaded into the aircraft. The door will be designed for in-flight operation, making the Airvan 10 ideal for missions such as skydiving, aerial photography, supply dropping, and many military and law enforcement tasks.
Safety Standards
The Airvan 10 is designed to meet Amendment 62 of the FAR 23 regulations. No other aircraft in its class measures up to the stringent safety, design and airworthiness requirements to which the Airvan 10 will be certified. The crash-worthiness ratings on the airframe, seats, fuel systems and firewall are superior to its competition.
The definition of versatility
The Airvan 10 is a highly versatile platform for countless operations. Given its low fuel burn, impressive payload capacity, large cabin volume and quick-change configuration capabilities, it’s easy to see why the Airvan 10 appeals to so many.
Skydiving: A quick climb rate leads to fast rotation times. Comfortably fits large groups. In-flight sliding door operation approved.
Passenger Transport: Nine forward-facing passenger seats, divided by a center aisle. Each seat has a panoramic window.
Freight: Fit an entire pallet through the 50” door. The floor height is ideal for loading cargo. Optional cargo pod available.
Special Missions: Economical, long-loiter special missions platform with easy handling at low airspeeds.
Recreational: Fit the whole family and all of your adventure gear. Carry it all for less than any competitive product.
