The Vans RV-7 is an American amateur-built kit aircraft designed by Van's Aircraft, part of the company's long-running RV series of homebuilt designs intended to be assembled by individual owners from a supplied kit rather than purchased factory-complete. Known for combining strong aerobatic capability with practical cross-country cruising performance in a low-wing, all-metal two-seat airframe, it is among the most widely built amateur-constructed aircraft designs in the world, reflecting the broader popularity of the RV series within the homebuilt aviation community.
