Kitfox Aircraft Unveils Special Edition ‘Patriot Fox’ at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026

American kit aircraft manufacturer Kitfox Aircraft has made a grand appearance at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 with the introduction of the Patriot Fox. This special edition aircraft is a tribute to America’s rich aviation heritage. The unveiling took place this week at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The Patriot Fox is a testament to the renowned Kitfox Series 7 platform, a design acclaimed for its superior short takeoff and landing (STOL) performance and robust backcountry capability.

The special edition kit aircraft provides builders with a high level of customization. This allows owners to add a personal touch to their aircraft while reaping the benefits of the Series 7’s sturdy engineering. The Kitfox Series 7 is recognized for a cruise speed exceeding 150 mph, foldable wings for convenient hangaring, and an impeccable safety record. These features make it a consistent favorite among adventure pilots and backcountry enthusiasts.

Since its establishment in 1984, Kitfox Aircraft has delivered over 7,000 kits to builders in more than 43 countries worldwide. The launch of the Patriot Fox coincides with a momentous occasion — the United States’ 250th anniversary. This is expected to spark considerable interest among homebuilders seeking to infuse a patriotic flair into their builds. The aircraft is on display this week at the Homebuilt Aircraft Display area in Oshkosh.
