The Epic E1000 has a hard time doing anything but go places... fast. Still; Epic Aircraft’s factory operation had to slow down a bit, like everyone else, to accommodate the issues associated with the pandemic... but used that down time to study their nascent production system and seek ways to improve upon it... thereby wasting little time when everyone else was at a standstill.
Now, with airplanes ready to come out of the factory with a major avionics upgrade, the 1200HP turbo prop is ready to travel at altitudes as high as 34000 feet -- and in high style. 315 knots, 48 GPH, RVSM approved, the latest generation of Epic is shaking up a category already filled by exceptional airplanes -- and where few thought there was room for more competition. And with 280 people back at work, building hot rod composite airplanes, Epic has proven that hypothesis wrong.
