The Bearhawk design offers the best in strength and durability with 100% flush-head solid rivets on all 2024-T3 aluminum skin wings. Bearhawk aircraft are 17% stronger in utility category strength at full gross weight than out-of-production comparable Cessna 180 and 185.
Unmatched in performance, nothing flies as fast, lands as slow, and is tougher built. For example, the Bearhawk Patrol touches down at 35 mph and cruises at 150+ mph. The Bearhawk 4-Place has a 1,350-lb useful load, and outclimbs the competition.
The full line of Bearhawk designs are best-in-class with built-in safety margins and more utility. Optimized with a Riblett airfoil, Bearhawk aircraft outperform in climb, speed and slow flight. Their beefy 4130 steel frame provides a safe and roomy cabin. All airplanes are not created equal, compared to a Bearhawk.
