Configuration A1 engine
Single
A turboprop in the nose pulls a clean, fast four-seater. Simple to own and fly.
The aircraft
Start with one. Add the second later.
Both versions share the same carbon airframe, wing and cabin. The twin adds a rear engine and pusher propeller on the same centerline as the nose engine, so an engine failure brings no asymmetric thrust and no sudden swing.
Configuration B2 engines
Push-pull twin
A second turboprop at the tail adds speed and redundancy, with both engines on the centerline.
Design principles
Fast first. Then simple to build.
Every choice is weighed against cruise speed, the light-sport stall limit and how easily a part can be made and repeated.
Speed
A slender fuselage, a laminar-flow wing and faired gear keep drag low so modest power goes a long way.
Centerline thrust
Push-pull engines sit on one line, so losing one does not pull the nose sideways.
Light-sport
Sized to the FAA's MOSAIC rules, including the landing stall-speed limit, with flaps that earn their keep.
Buildable
Carbon parts from simple, repeatable molds, with a build sequence planned before the first layup.
- A straight, efficient wingA single-piece carbon wing with a laminar section and flaps that fold away inside the wing.
- Room for fourA cabin sized around a tall pilot up front, with real seats in the back.
- Fixed gear, faired tightNo retraction system to build or maintain. Low-drag fairings recover most of the speed.
- Multi-fuel turbine powerSmall turboprops that burn Jet-A, diesel or avgas.
