Lancair Evolution Prototype To Fly Demos At EAA AirVenture

0

When the first Lancair Evolution showed up at Sun ‘n Fun earlier this year, still in its plain white undercoat, the design attracted plenty of attention. Pressurized and turbo-powered, the four-seat kit aircraft promised high performance, with 385-mph speed. Now prospective buyers will be able to find out for themselves how it performs. The company is bringing the newly painted prototype to Oshkosh, where it will be available for demo flights. Lancair also said this week it has delivered the first Evolution kit, and the buyer will participate in the two-week builder assist program at the company’s facility in Redmond, Ore. Also, Forward Vision said this week its EVS-100 synthetic vision system will be offered as an option for the Evolution.

Estimated cost for the completed aircraft is up to about $1 million. Click here for exclusive AVweb video from the Evolution’s visit to Sun ‘n Fun in April.
