THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Zivko Edge 540

The Edge 540 pairs a compact low-wing airframe with a powerful piston engine. It was designed for demanding aerobatic competition and later became strongly associated with the Red Bull Air Race. A tandem-seat development, the Edge 540T, also exists.

Racing modifications and competition setups can change individual aircraft. The simulator's version and equipment therefore matter more than a headline roll-rate figure for the entire family. Photographs are captioned for the aircraft actually shown.
