The MVP Model 3 was a prototype American "triphibian" light-sport aircraft, displayed in mockup form in 2014. The aircraft was under development by MVP.AERO Inc. (sometimes styled MVP.aero).[1] Its developer has since ceased operations.[2]
The company was incorporated in Delaware in 2011 by father and son Darrell and Michael Lynds and friend Steve Pugh. Its design and engineering team, led by Mike Van Staagen, was based in Duluth, Minnesota, with management and administration in Minneapolis.[1] In January 2016, it was announced that the plane would be built in Brunswick, Maine.[3] Although, by February 2022, the program had been cancelled.[2]
