The Van's RV-10 is a four-seat, single-engine, low-wing homebuilt airplane sold in kit form by Van's Aircraft and the first four-seat design in the RV series. It first flew on 29 May 2003 and the first kit parts reached a customer in September 2003. Richard VanGrunsven designed it to meet demand for a four-seat RV, as a touring aircraft that trades the aerobatic ability and light handling of the RV-3 to RV-8 for stability and payload. The prototype flew with a 260 hp Lycoming IO-540, the most the airframe was designed to accept. It is the first RV without a hinged or sliding canopy, using two gull-winged doors, and it is built of aluminium with a composite cabin structure and tricycle landing gear only. As of November 2022, 1,010 RV-10s had been completed and flown.
