Murphy Moose
The Murphy Moose is a Canadian high-wing utility light aircraft produced in kit form by Murphy Aircraft of Chilliwack, British Columbia for amateur construction. The Moose can be purchased as a "quick-build" kit which comes partly pre-assembled.[1][2][3]
Builders can choose whether to equip their aircraft with the 269 kW (360 hp) Russian-built Vedeneyev M14P nine-cylinder radial or the horizontally opposed 187 kW (250 hp) Lycoming O-540.[1] Both engines allow the Moose to take off in roughly 180 m (600 ft). At least one owner has equipped their aircraft with a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-20 turboprop engine[2][3][4] and another builder has installed a 460 hp (343 kW) General Motors LS3 V-8 engine.[5]
