Interesting facts about the Murphy Moose
✈ The Murphy Moose is a Canadian designed and manufactured all metal high wing utility aircraft produced by Murphy Aircraft Manufacturing in British Columbia.
✈ It is supplied as a kit aircraft, allowing builders to configure engines such as the Lycoming IO 540, radial engines or turboprop conversions including the PT6A, which significantly affects performance and resale appeal.
✈ The Moose was engineered with a large rear cabin door, making it practical for loading bulky cargo, camping gear or mission equipment.
✈ With a typical maximum take off weight of 3,500 pounds, the Moose delivers a high useful load for a homebuilt aircraft in its class.
✈ The wing uses a robust all metal structure with strut bracing, optimised for short field performance and rough strip operations.
✈ Builders often fit tundra tyres, floats or skis, which makes the Moose attractive to buyers operating in remote regions.
✈ The cabin is typically configured for four seats, though some examples prioritise cargo flexibility over passenger layout.
✈ Turbine powered Moose conversions can achieve dramatically shorter take off distances and climb rates compared to piston variants, which influences market value and mission suitability.
Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Murphy Moose
The Murphy Moose is sold as a kit aircraft rather than factory built production variants, but buyers will encounter distinct configurations based on engine installation and mission setup. Common piston powered examples use the Lycoming IO 540 around 300 horsepower, while some builders have installed higher output radial engines such as the M 14P. A small number of aircraft have been converted to turbine power using Pratt and Whitney PT6A engines, creating exceptional short take off capability and climb performance. These differences matter to buyers because engine choice directly affects operating costs, fuel burn, maintenance complexity, resale demand and overall performance envelope.
