The Murphy SR2500 Super Rebel is a Canadian four-seat monoplane designed by Murphy Aircraft of British Columbia. The type was sold as a kit for home construction, but production ended by 2008.[1]
Designed as a larger four-seat version of the Rebel, the Super Rebel is an all-metal high-wing braced monoplane with two rows of side-by-side seats for four.[2] The prototype first flew in November 1995 and was powered by a 250 hp (190 kW) Lycoming O-540-4A5 driving a two-bladed constant-speed propeller.[2] The prototype had a tricycle landing gear but the standard model (SR2500TD) has a tailwheel landing gear.[2] The rear bench seat can be removed to hold luggage and the Super Rebel has a separate baggage door on the port side behind the passenger door.[2] The aircraft is designed for any engine between 134 and 186 kW (180 to 250 hp) and also has larger fuel tanks as an option (increasing range to 1350 km (839 miles).[2]
