The M7-180 is a single-engine, 5-seat light aircraft developed and manufactured by American aviation manufacturer Maule Air. The aircraft, which evolved from the company’s previous models, took its maiden flight in 1984. The M7-180 is renowned as a rugged, reliable general utility airplane that is exceptional for backcountry flight operations due to its inherent STOL (short take-off and landing) capabilities.

The M7-180 features a high-mounted, strut-braced main wing, a standard empennage, and a traditional undercarriage. Its robust engineering has engendered the M7-180 to bush pilots throughout the world. It has stout landing gear, a roomy fuselage, and great range. 5-position flaps allow precise adjustment of lift and speed for take-off and landing.

The Maule M7-180 measures 23 feet, 8 inches in length, stands 6 feet, 4 inches tall, and has a wingspan of 32 feet, 11 inches. It is powered by a 180-horsepower, 4-cylinder piston engine that turns a 2-blade constant-speed propeller. The M7-180 has a range of 1,082 miles (with long-range tanks), a climb rate of up to 1,000 feet per minute, a cruising speed of 147 miles per hour, and a stall speed of 49 mph.
