A XtremeAir XA41 flies about 800 nm, roughly 1,482 km, which is about 4 h 18 min in still air at typical cruise.
A XtremeAir XA41 costs about EUR 2,357 a month to run, or about EUR 248 for every flight hour when it is flown 150 hours a year.
The XtremeAir XA41 is a single-seat, unlimited-category aerobatic aircraft developed by XtremeAir GmbH in Germany. It first flew in the late 2000s and entered production as part of the company’s carbon-composite aerobatic family, distinct from the two-seat XA42. The XA41 was designed for competition aerobatics, airshow flying and advanced upset-recovery training where a dedicated single-seat platform is preferred. Its relevance in the used market comes from its modern composite structure, high roll authority and purpose-built design, rather than from touring comfort or utility.
The XA41 is typically powered by a Lycoming AEIO-580 series six-cylinder aerobatic engine rated at about 315 hp, driving a constant-speed propeller. Published performance varies by propeller, equipment and operating limitations, but the type is commonly associated with cruise speeds around 190 to 200 knots and ferry-range figures in the region of 650 to 700 nautical miles with appropriate fuel planning. The aircraft is designed for high positive and negative g aerobatic loads, with a maximum takeoff weight around 1,870 lb. Useful load depends strongly on installed equipment and empty weight, so individual aircraft records should be checked rather than relying on generic figures. Service ceiling is normally quoted in the mid-teens, around 16,000 feet.
The XA41 has a single-seat cockpit under a large bubble canopy, with tandem seating absent by design. The cabin is compact and arranged around aerobatic visibility, control harmony and low mass. Baggage capacity and comfort features are limited compared with touring aircraft. Avionics are usually simple VFR fitments, often including a comm radio, transponder, engine monitoring and sometimes a compact GPS or electronic flight display. Buyers should not expect integrated suites such as Garmin Perspective or Garmin G1000 as standard equipment. Panel layouts vary considerably because many aircraft were specified or upgraded for competition use.
Used XA41 aircraft are specialist purchases. Important checks include composite airframe condition, aerobatic load history, engine time and overhaul status, propeller history, canopy condition, smoke-system installation if fitted and compliance with factory service information. Weight and balance records are especially important because added avionics, smoke equipment or competition modifications can affect useful load and handling. Common market differentiators include propeller type, avionics modernization, paint condition, spare parts support and documented competition maintenance. Compared with the XA42, the XA41 is positioned as the lighter, single-seat choice for pilots who value dedicated aerobatic performance over dual instruction capability or passenger carriage.
