Rans announces fastest and biggest aircraft, S-21 Outbound

Rans Aircraft will launch its biggest ever aircraft at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh next week. It’s the two-seat S-21 Outbound with 180hp, short take-off and landing ability (STOL), 800lb+ useful load and 500+ miles range.

The S-21 is all-metal and will be available as a quick-build kit. The prototype due to be displayed at Oshkosh will have a 180hp Titan engine but others, such as Rotax, can also be installed.

“This is exciting for us,” said designer Randy Schlitter. “building a big two-seater with a lot of power and aerodynamics that allow both a 150mph+ cruise and STOL credentials, and building in features that make assembly easier and more accurate than ever.”

The new S-21 Outbound is an all-metal, high-wing, single-strut design that can be built as either a taildragger or a tricycle. It’s the highest payload design ever offered by Rans. The US company says, “the Outbound’s 28ft wingspan and 141 sq ft wing area support its 1,800lb gross weight, which could include a 250lb pilot, 175lb passenger, 200lb cargo, and full tanks – nearly 32 gallons – ready to take off as soon as you warm up the engine.”
