What is the Whittaker MW6?
Tech Specs
The Whittaker MW6 is a celebration of true microlight flying — uncomplicated, airy, and delightfully responsive. A machine born from the grassroots world of homebuilt aviation, the MW6 was created to be light, economical, and supremely approachable, offering pilots a pure connection to the sky without the complexity found in larger aircraft.
This MSFS recreation brings that spirit to life with exceptional care, blending handcrafted modelling with accurate aerodynamics to capture the MW6’s inviting personality. Its tubular frame, fabric-covered wings, and open cabin layout have been faithfully reproduced, allowing you to experience the aircraft’s charm exactly as it was meant to be flown: up close, personal, and immersed in the world around you.
In the air, the MW6 is a joy — steady, forgiving, and wonderfully playful. Its low stall speed, gentle control harmony, and remarkable visibility make it the perfect companion for low-and-slow exploration. Trace winding rivers, skim across open fields, or climb into the evening light — the MW6 invites you to savour every moment aloft.
Whether you’re revisiting the early days of microlighting or discovering this beloved British design for the first time, the Whittaker MW6 offers a warm, honest flying experience that feels beautifully human. This is flight at its simplest and most sincere — a reminder that sometimes, the smallest aircraft deliver the biggest smiles.
