With Oshkosh coming up and spy pics of its new high-wing engineering text article plane already up on the Internet, Van’s Aircraft officially announced the existence of its new kit plane, the RV-15. The company is keeping mum on the details, but video it shared over the weekend on its site clearly (or in some cases not so clearly) shows that the RV-15 (which sticks with Van’s long-held naming conventions) is a sheet-metal high-wing, four-cylinder taildragger with a constant-speed prop and room for four seats, though Van’s hasn’t weighed in on the number of seats except to say coyly that, yes, there will be seats. The company will be at Oshkosh in less than two weeks to fill in, hopefully, a number of details on the new mode, the first-ever high-wing kit from the Oregon company.
