The nimble Zivko Edge 540 is an Unlimited Class monoplane, powered by a 400hp Ly-Con engine. Capable of a 420 degree per second roll rate and a 3,700 foot per minute climb rate, it has been flown to victory many times in aerobatic competitions and is now synonymous with the air racing series as the base that all other race aircraft are judged.
