The latest innovation from Lancair is a new 2-seat “little brother” to the groundbreaking Mako — the Barracuda. Establishing a new standard for value, Barracuda offers high performance, operational economy and Lancair’s trademark aerodynamic style in a cost-effective package for two. Introduced at EAA AirVenture 2018, Barracuda is the latest design from Lancair’s legendary innovators. A beautiful 2-place composite single with exceptional performance and style at an affordable price point. Power to climb. Speed to take you to new places. The innovation that only Lancair can bring you. Three decades after revolutionizing the world of two-seat aircraft, a rich history of unparalleled innovation and record-setting performance continues with the Lancair Barracuda. Updated and optimized from tip to tail, Barracuda is faster, more agile and easier to build than its predecessors. Barracuda represents years of continual research, testing and invaluable input from Lancair builders and flyers around the globe. Featuring the innovative auto-retracting nose gear pioneered on the Lancair Mako, Barracuda offers most of the speed and responsiveness of a full-retractable gear aircraft with the simplicity and cost savings of a fixed-gear model. In fact, Barracuda easily cruises at over 230 mph with its 310 hp IO-550-N 6-cylinder engine, offering comfort and range to spare —and all with the same great flight characteristics pilots have come to expect from Lancair. Lancair engineers didn’t stop with performance, durability and good looks when they completely redesigned the two-seat Lancair.
