10 Best Two Seat Airplanes 

This doesn't say "Light Sport", just 2 place. One of the best 2 place LSA's is the Sling 2. Flew one from Mt. Vernon, Ill. (KMVN) to Torrance, Ca. (KTOA-home airport) and had nothing but fun and good performance. Flew them consistently for about 4 years. No more flying due to medical complications....

Great video, Helps quite a bit for my search of my 1st LSA, Thx!

Icon A5 range 1400 miles??? NOT true and nowhere close to the manufacturers stated specs. Many errors in this vid.

You forgot all about the best of the best… Shark aero!!!

This video helped with my research. Thanks for making!

Great video , great Information Tks for sharing..!!

Excellent stuff bro

1:40 Already have this place but so satisfying to watch I have share this video with my friends as they are looking for 2 seater aircraft

ALSO tested bristell - comfortable , but cruise speed only 220 km/h , but on rotax 912 which eat not too much fuel

Struts mean you can make a wing spar thinner and lighter for a given weight. Thinner wings and lighter weight means less drag to offset the drag from the struts. Optimized, you can probably outperform cantilevers below a certain transonic threshold. Though struts do present ergonomic and ground-handling issues.

Забавные двухместные малыши!:))... Спасибо за обзор:)...

Interesting video

JMB EVOLUTION VL3 is beautiful, I like it 😎👍

The VL3 and Bristell you showed were both fitted with the Rotax 915is engines, so your description was incorrect. Also, the Bristell you showed was not a B23 - so, wrong again.

Good Prices lot cheaper than I expected 💯.

What is that background song ? Nice lil' jazz tune ....

You forgot to mention TECNAM (IT)... excellent airplanes!

captions for Pipistrel and Just aircraft are swapped. And the Pipistrel Virus SW (35 ft wingspan, 162 knot vne) is a different aircraft than the Pipistrel Virus (42 ft wing span, 122 knot vne)

The vl3 has a Rotax 915 if I’m not mistaken because I fly it. and while you were doing a walk around of the Bristol b23 you said it has a rotax 912 even though it says it has a 915 on the aircraft. I was just wondering if the engine you said was correct.

Good selection, except for the lack of Tecnam airplanes in your list.

The best is RV8, but a lot of work to build, and not easy to find as a second hand .

I've flown several of these aircraft. What is missing in this list is a good metal, high wing, all around Plane like a Technam Eaglet. High wings are better for people with mobility issues, (like taking your mom on a ride) and sight seeing. (Low wings prevent a good sight seeing) and metal if you don't have a hangar.

Is it possible to make a living flying those for taxi purposes and/or package delivery?

I'm no expert in GA. But it appears to me that many of the best designs are now pushers. But the overwhelming majority of GA planes are front engine with prop. Do we see a change over the next decade? or is there some fallacy with pushers I'm not aware of?

The videos of the Super STOL and the Pipistrel have their texts mixed up.

BRAND NEW!

Hello men i am from the land of origin #Ethiopia i wont some help from you i start make light aircraft use 100 HP yamha boot moter bu i cant gate propeller if you have a way how i can buy from please leave website or some thing reply please men

You forgot the Gillette Saker-1 S1 supersonic twin seater. 1600 miles range and it can do Mach 1.1 at 45,000 feet. only costs 5 million.

May I add the Arion Lighting LS-1 to this list? Fast, nimble and American made!

Sorry about such a mundane question, but I know very little about the subject. I’m curious about going to the bathroom in those planes. Some of them I have quite a long range and that means spending many hours without going to the bathroom. How do you deal with that question?

Most efficient 2 seat airplane, even 45 years since it's mid-1970s introduction, is probably the Rutan Aircraft Factory (later Scaled Composites) Long-EZ. It holds several records for achieving over 40 MPG on longer flights with a full standard load in it - better than a lot of cars - but cruises at around 145 MPH (I think, might have been 145 knots). With a special rear-seat fuel tank added, one of these has flown for over 4800 miles as a class record (at a little over 35 MPG due to the heavier-than-normal loading for most of that flight), but the NORMAL configuration is limited to more like 2000 (on 52 gallons of fuel tank). It's POSSIBLE there is a 2 seat version of the Quicky (also a Rutan design) that might be even more efficient though. Yeah, they're kit planes - but so are several other aircraft on this list.

Dornier 328, cruising 335 knts?

Where are Dynamic,Shark and Stream? 😪🙋🏻‍♂️🇸🇰

Famous last words.

The best in the list ,the RV 8 💪✈️ The others because of the rotax Engine and the price , no way ,

Where is the Sling 2?

6:00 Yet another updated Storch. Amazing how many recent variations that World War II era aircraft has engendered.

Subtitles for Virus and Just Aircraft are interchanged in French. + As usual, all is in miles only, just like USA still is a suburb of GB.

JMB Evolution

Bristell uses the Rotax 915..dude look at the cowl...

Fdalco f8l?

dude just parked that super STOL in a carpark spot...

Whenever one of these aviation channels lists airspeed in mph they lose me.

The DA-20 does NOT cruise at 159 mph (138kt). More like 125mph (110kt). That's DA-40 numbers - a twice more expensive aircraft. Is the speed given for all the other ones similarly inflated? :-|

The Icon does not have a constant speed prop.

I like how all these aircraft are in the 6 figures yet he says they are affordable LMFAO!

RV8 is NOT in the LSA category. No reason to list it here.

Which is the cheapest plane?

Risen leaves them all in the dust. Apparently there is a 915 version as well but not listed on their confused two websites. It just amazes me how companies can be that absentminded. They have one job. Something as exciting as a 915 version should be promoted everywhere. When it's the best plane especially so. Aviation feels dead in a sense. To me it seems obvious that you bring your great product to all the aviation youtubers to get exposure. Awareness is more than half the battle.

Two more amazing 2-seater aircraft: - Czech Sport Cruiser - TL Stream

VL3 is great!

And where is the Alto 912 TG? 😄

The Sling 2/Sling 4 or Sling LSA should be on this list. Fantastic aircraft for the price. The founders of Sling have flown them around the world multiple times. Super range and reliability.

I’d rather have an Arion Lightning

where`s Super Petrel, the best one

'We make the best educational aviation videos you've ever seen'.... NOT..

A5 overhyped..380k not including a 35 grand demo flight: The Searey and Super Petrel are better options

And where are Dynamic WT9 or Shark ???

Me wondering what currency a brand new diamond da20 is only 200k is in...

1st plane is not Light Sport

Get the Original, Lancair 200 .....

❤❤💖💖💕💕

What do you belive - the spoken version or the writing - there is sometimes considerable difference!

But u need a pilot licence?

The JMB Evolution VL3 is not a light sport. It has retractable gear (light sport is restricted to FIXED GEAR, ALL OF THEM), and light sport is restricted to 120kts MAX cruise. The ICON is also not technically a light sport...it is a heavier (given a silly exception for increased gross weight) because it has a proprietary anti-spin system that weighs a lot. And it's sea plane. And it costs north of $300k. The Bristell is a nice plane, and its mid priced...but its no different than other low wing SLSA in the segment like the SLING. Btw. NO SLSA CAN CARRY WEIGHT MORE THAN 1300lbs max. The useful for all such aircraft is very small... You admitted it, the RV8 is NOT a light sport, it has a retractable nose gear and its too fast and its a kit. The Risen is also NOT A LIGHT SPORT. It has retractable gear and exceeds speeds and weight for the class. The Just Superstol is VERY COSTLY in its niche as well. The better deal is the RANS S21 SLSA...which can take on the Just and is MUCH cheaper. AND its factory built, unlike the Just. The Diamond DA20 IS NOT A LIGHT SPORT. It is too fast and weighs too much and it also costs nearly $300k. The best two seat planes are SLSA...they cost between $100 to $200k and often come with a chute like the Flight Design and Pipistrel.

Someone needs to tell this dude that 160 mph in an aircraft is not considered "very fast"

1/2 of these are not LSA.

Evolution the way to go good price and performance Icon expensive and who wants a car dashboard in a plane ? And would anyone in their right mind by a plane called virus ?

Pipistrel Virus !?! It is pronounced "VEER-us" please !!!

so you can't have constant speed prop retracts or go 160 mph while being a light sprot i dont understand the point of the video ?????????????????????????

!!!!!!!!!!!

"Best 2 place airplanes" and then you show the Icon A5? Are you high?

I tested VL3 - is not comfortable at all . And there is strange params at their site , faster speed only with rotax 915, but if you take look , never exceed speed - 340 km/h , but cruise speed 370 ! ???? also useful load = 240 kg , from which fuel is 140l or 100kg , so for your bodies + luggage you have 140 kg , e.q. one need to be a girl ... So they seem lie .

While I appreciate you trying, please make sure your videos are at least factual. The planes you are showing are the higher end models that do not match the specifications you are saying. You even made the statement that the A5 has a 1400 mile range which is incorrect, you also said the CTLsi has a range of 1,200 miles which is incorrect, the range is 830 miles.

"the Icon A5 is a fast plane" "speed are 100 mph" Bruh a Cessna 150 can do 100 mph

As soon as you mention Rotax or a regular engine like Lycosaurus, I already know the aircraft is unaffordable for many. There is a reason why the light sport program failed to attain the low cost goals Only the most in touch aviation writers will be fully aware of this. Rotax is a big company, lots of overhead and share holders to pay for. Not only is the engines expensive, but it is slow in tech advance and low powered. The first models still use carbs. So they created a market for companies like edge Performance , but they too are not cheap.

I like the video. However, I had to negative thumb the video for the "a wise man once said...." remark, and the mix-up between a couple of the planes' closed-captioning. I'm sorry, I hate those kind of intro's. On the plus side, it's not as bad as some I have seen.

virus is said verus

This video needs to be taken down and reworked.

One problem with rotax is low time between TBO.. 300 hrs.

Icon is an underpowered POS. Marketing BS.

Wow copying mojogrip Mike's stuff huh? Lazy much?

have a nice day. max speed. 275-300 mph. range 2000 mph. Two-seater plane for $200,000. A 4-seater plane for $300,000. Can I have it done to you or others? please provide information. thanks.

Some good info here, but PLEASE don't ask me to like and subscribe in the first 10 seconds, I get to decide after watching if I like it or want more from the source. The annoying background music and overly dramatic "monster truck rally" / "breathless newscaster" voiceover was grating on my ears as well. Just the facts ma'am, leave the drama for daytime TV.

The JMB is not a light sport in retractable mode and it has a bubble cockpit, hyper hot. ICON is hyper expensive and SLOW. The Bristell is also a bubble cockpit...HOT. The RV8 is a kit (experimental) and not a light sport. The Risen is also not a light sport and bubble cockpit AND not sold in the US. No one gets a recreational pilots cert, if you do that training just finish the private pilot level. The JUST STOL is way overpriced and hyper slow...and only the Highlander model is SLSA. If you want SLSA and speed and STOL get a RANS S21 or a Kitfox. The Diamond is a good plane but also nearly $300k, far over most SLSA prices. The Flight Design CTLSi is a pure SLSA and is very good. Priced around $180k...but it has been superseded by Flight Design with their model F2. The Pipistrel Sinus is also an old design now. Now as good a deal as the FD F2. The Vans RV12 SLSA is a really good plane at a good price.

Midroll adds Dislike

Undiluted crap. Out of date, loads of errors and missing a number of better aircraft.

Getting tired of these predicable AI scripted narrations

Tarragon is way better than most of these!

The Icon is many things, „fast“ it is not.
