Epic Aircraft Embarking on Second E1000 GX Demo Tour

Epic Aircraft has announced stops for its second-annual U.S. demonstration tour of the all-composite E1000 GX turboprop single. The tour kicks off on February 10 in Sacramento, California, and concludes November 8 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Plans call for more than 75 stops, with more to be added while the tour is underway.

The company's tour comes on the heels of record sales during the fourth quarter, according to CEO Doug King. “Our U.S. demo tour provides prospective buyers with the opportunity to experience the E1000 GX. From first-class cockpit and cabin comfort to unparalleled performance and safety features, our airplane is the [turboprop] category leader: fastest speed and climb, highest service ceiling, greatest seats-full range, greatest full-tanks payload, and most fuel efficient.”

Epic said the E1000 GX is the fastest turboprop single in production today, with a top speed of 333 knots and 1,560-nm range with 1,100 pounds of passengers and baggage. Its ceiling is FL340.

“We’re seeing record-low insurance premiums for our owners, an accomplishment attributable to our exemplary safety record, highly regarded flight training program, and underwriter education,” said King.
