The Evolution (formerly Lancair) Turboprop/Lycoming arguably offer the best price/performance of anything in their respective classes (propjet/piston single). Both are based on the same robust Utility class airframe/carbon fiber kit. Both are pressurized and offer an optional BRS chute and G-Certified seats for impact absorb. And are the only kit Experimentals allowed to integrate a Garmin GFC700 autopilot. The primary panels are the G900X (G1000 equivalent).
Evolution Turboprop ($1.415m): Pratt & Whitney PT6A-135A, 300ktas, FL28k, 1400nm range
Evolution Lycoming ($995k): Lycoming YTEO-540 iE2 350hp, 242ktas, FL25, 1800nm range
So why aren't these guys leading their markets? WhY only 87 Evo Turoprops flying?
