The Flying Legend Hawker Hurricane Replica is an Italian light-sport aircraft, designed and produced by Flying Legend of Caltagirone and introduced at the AERO Friedrichshafen show in 2011. The aircraft, a 72% scale replica of the British Hawker Hurricane Second World War fighter, was supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1][2]
Flying Legend is a collaborative project between MGA and Barum.[1]
After the initial showing in 2011, the aircraft's design was improved and a new model introduced in 2015 and kit production commenced.[2]
The Hurricane Replica features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem enclosed cockpit, retractable conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]
The aircraft is made from welded 4130 steel tubing, sheet 2024-T3 aluminum and wood. Its 8.20 m (26.9 ft) span wing has an area of 11.0 m2 (118 sq ft) and flaps. Standard engines available are the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant, with the 115 hp (86 kW) Rotax 914 and 125 hp (93 kW) D-Motor LF39 optional.[1][2][3]
