The '''[[Extra Flugzeugbau]] Extra 200''' (Type EA-200) is a two-seat, tandem arrangement, low-wing aerobatic monoplane with conventional ([[taildragger]]) landing gear fully capable of Unlimited category [[Competition aerobatics|competition]]. It was designed by [[Walter Extra]] who introduced it to the [[United States]] market in [[1996 in aviation|1996]]. The Extra 200 is a little smaller than the [[Extra 300]], and is powered by a 200&nbsp;hp (149&nbsp;kW) rather than the [[Extra 300]]'s 300&nbsp;hp (224&nbsp;kW) [[Lycoming engine]] making it a great choice for those on a restricted budget. It offers the flying characteristics of the EA-300, is capable of all unlimited maneuvers, and makes a great all-round training/sports aerobatic aircraft.

==Design==
==Design==
The Extra 200 is based on the design of the [[Extra 300]], and the two aircraft share many similarities. The Extra 200 has a [[welded]] [[steel]] (4130) tube fuselage covered in [[fiberglass]] and fabric with a carbon/glass hybrid composite [[empennage]] (i.e., the tail assembly, including the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, elevators, and rudder), and a bubble canopy. The [[monocoque]] wings have a [[carbon fiber]] composite spar with fiberglass skins and an integral fuel tank. A symmetrical [[airfoil]], mounted with a zero [[angle of incidence]], provides equal performance in both upright and inverted flight. The landing gear is fixed [[taildragger]] style with composite main legs and fiberglass wheel pants. The [[piston-engine]]d powerplant is a [[fuel-injected]] [[Lycoming AEIO-360]]-A1E that produces 200 horsepower (149&nbsp;kW), and it is equipped with a 3-bladed constant-speed MTV-12-B-C/C 183-17e propeller made of laminated wood encased in glass-fiber reinforced plastic. The Extra 200 is stressed for ±10&nbsp;G with one person on board and ±8&nbsp;G with two, and has an [[FAA]] certified load factor in the [[United States|US]] to ±10&nbsp;G.

==Background==
==Background==
In the late 1990s, the Extra 200 was considerably less expensive, at $170,000 (1996 new), versus the [[Extra 300]]L's price of $235,000 (1996 new). In performance, at lower power settings, the aircraft handling is similar to the [[American Champion Decathlon|Decathlon]] while at full power it exhibits performance similar to the [[Pitts S-2]]&ndash; the Pitts has a 60&nbsp;hp edge, but the Extra 200's aerodynamic and clean design makes it comparable in performance. The Extra 200 is now back in limited production (2007) after a hiatus in which [[Extra Flugzeugbau|Extra Aircraft]] focused on the development of the [[Extra EA-500]] whose costs of development forced the company into bankruptcy. With new ownership, the company is again producing a range of aerobatic aircraft including the EA-200. The base price is $225,000 as of 2007.

The Extra 200 (Type EA-200) is a two-seat, tandem arrangement, low-wing aerobatic monoplane with conventional (taildragger) landing gear fully capable of Unlimited category competition, built by Extra Flugzeugbau.[1]

Designed by Walter Extra, it was introduced to the United States market in 1996.[2] The Extra 200 is slightly smaller than the Extra 300, and is powered by a 200 hp (149 kW) rather than the Extra 300's 300 hp (224 kW) Lycoming engine. It offers the flying characteristics of the EA-300, is capable of all unlimited maneuvers, and makes a great all-round training/sports aerobatic aircraft.

Design

[edit]

The Extra 200 is based on the design of the Extra 300, and the two aircraft share many similarities. The Extra 200 has a welded steel (4130) tube fuselage covered in fiberglass and fabric with a carbon/glass hybrid composite empennage (i.e., the tail assembly, including the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, elevators, and rudder), and a bubble canopy. The monocoque wings have a carbon fiber composite spar with fiberglass skins and an integral fuel tank. A symmetrical airfoil, mounted with a zero angle of incidence, provides equal performance in both upright and inverted flight. The landing gear is fixed taildragger style with composite main legs and fiberglass wheel pants. The piston-engined powerplant is a fuel-injected Lycoming AEIO-360-A1E that produces 200 horsepower (149 kW), and it is equipped with a 3-bladed constant-speed MTV-12-B-C/C 183-17e propeller made of laminated wood encased in glass-fiber reinforced plastic. The Extra 200 is stressed for ±10 G with one person on board and ±8 G with two, and has an FAA certified load factor in the US to ±10 G.
