Design and development
The Revolution I features a cantilever low-wing, a single-seat, open cockpit with a windshield, fixed conventional landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]
The aircraft is made from a combination of wood and metal tubing, covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 26.00 ft (7.9 m) span wing lacks flaps. The standard engine used is the 65 hp (48 kW) Continental A65 powerplant. The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 540 lb (240 kg) and a gross weight of 840 lb (380 kg), giving a useful load of 300 lb (140 kg).[1]
The Revolution I was later developed into a two-seat model called the Warner Revolution II.[1]
Operational history
In May 2014 two examples were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration, although a total of three had been registered at one time.[2][3]
