LANCAIR GOES TURBINE
Kitplane manufacturer Lancair plans to offer a turbine-powered version of
its popular Lancair IV-P pressurized piston single. The airplane will use a
Czech-built Walter 601E turboprop engine of 700 shaft horsepower, and may be
capable of hitting cruise speeds of 340 to 350 knots at 25,000 feet.
Specifications have yet to be finalized, but a Lancair spokesman said that
the engine-along with its 82- to 84-inch-diameter, three-blade
propeller-will be offered as a $7,500 option to the existing, $102,900
Lancair IV-P kitplane. The option includes the engine and propeller, along
with a different firewall, engine mounts, and cowling. The cowling will be
about one foot longer than the IV-P's. The first flight is expected in six
months, although Lancair is currently taking orders for the turbine option.
------------------------
The $75,000 must be a typo! probably $75,000 option with engine and prop.
