Interesting facts about the Murphy Radical
✈ The Murphy Radical is a Canadian designed two seat high wing utility aircraft offered in kit form for amateur builders, with a strong focus on strength and simplicity.
✈ Murphy Aircraft developed the Radical as a larger and more powerful alternative to earlier Murphy designs, targeting pilots who wanted greater useful load and short take off capability.
✈ The design commonly uses the Lycoming O 360 engine producing 180 horsepower, giving the Radical strong climb performance for a light utility aircraft.
✈ With a gross weight of 2,100 lb and an empty weight around 1,150 lb, the aircraft offers a useful load of approximately 950 lb which appeals to backcountry operators.
✈ The Radical features all metal construction with aluminium structure and fabric covered control surfaces, balancing durability with ease of maintenance.
✈ A wingspan of 36 ft and wing area of 180 sq ft help deliver low stall speeds around 40 mph power off, supporting short field operations.
✈ Take off distances of roughly 250 ft and landing rolls near 300 ft under ideal conditions make the Radical attractive to pilots operating from grass strips.
✈ Builders can tailor avionics, interiors and equipment which means individual Murphy Radical aircraft for sale can vary significantly in specification and finish.
Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Murphy Radical
The Murphy Radical is primarily produced as a single core model within the Murphy Aircraft lineup rather than as multiple factory designated variants. Buyers will instead encounter differences driven by engine selection, propeller configuration, landing gear options and avionics fit. Many examples use the 180 horsepower Lycoming O 360, while some builders may install alternative approved engines within the recommended power range. These configuration differences can affect useful load, climb rate, cruise speed and overall operating costs, so prospective buyers should review each aircraft’s individual build standard carefully.
