The LoPresti Fury is a prototype sports plane built in the United States in the late 1980s. It is a fast two-seat low wing tail dragger, based on the Globe Swift and made of sheet aluminum. The current engine is a Lycoming IO-360-A1B6, giving the Fury a max speed of 222 mph. The aircraft will carry two adults with up to 100 pounds of baggage and has a range of 1000 miles.
Originally designed by Roy LoPresti while working at LoPresti Piper Aircraft Engineering Company, he eventually secured rights to the design following the bankruptcy of the company.
