The MJ-10 is a 75% scale plans built replica of the most famous British fighter of WWII,
the Supermarine Spitfire. The plans show details for duplicating several different
variants of the Spitfire which all include tandem two place seating. The replica is powered by a
200-400 hp engine of
your choice, either aircraft or converted automotive engine with gear reduction.
Those which are currently flying have used the six cylinder
Ranger, Potez, and V-12 Jaguar engines. The airframe was designed for positive
six and negative four G loading. Average construction time is between five to eight thousand hours.
Like all Jurca designs the MJ-10 Spitfire has been
professionally stress analyzed.
Basic structure consist of a 4130 steel tubular fuselage frame with aluminum bulkheads, stringers and skin. The wings main
spar is built as a one piece laminated box spar structure. The wings, and tail group are
