The Van's RV-15 is an American amateur-built aircraft under development by Van's Aircraft of Aurora, Oregon, and the first high-wing design from a company known for low-wing aircraft. It was developed from customer input by a 12-person engineering team starting in 2019, first flew in June 2022 and was first shown publicly at AirVenture in July 2022. It is a strut-braced two-seat side-by-side aircraft with an enclosed cabin reached by doors, fixed conventional gear with tundra tires and a tractor engine, with a tricycle gear version and water floats planned. The standard engine is the 218 hp Lycoming IO-390-EXP119, and the design goal cruising speed is 140 knots. In July 2025 Van's said kit production had begun, with wing kit deliveries planned from the end of 2025.
