In development since 1990, Agrocopteros redesigned and built from scratch modified versions of the Zenair Zodiac CH 601HD and STOL CH 701 kitplanes, designating them MXP-640 and MXP-740.
The 640’s primary structure is aluminium alloy extrusions or sheel, with the ribs, frames, extrusions, stringers, rigid hinges, reinforcements and skin panels all sharing the structural load. The wing is a single piece main spar with no sweep, with two fuel tanks. The fuselage is a semi-monocoque with steel firewall, and fibreglass fairings and cowl.
The fixed, tricycle undercarriage employs bungee-cord shock absorbers, and 5.00×5 tyres.
