Classic Aero-TV: High-Speed Match-up - Venom and GE Rebirth A Legend

From 2017: Major Engine Supplier Joins Forces With Small Aircraft Manufacturer…

GE recently made an agreement with Venom Aircraft to supply engines for the kit-built airplane which the company hopes can gain some traction in the military and para-military market.

Roy Plackis, Director of Operations for Venom Aerospace, told ANN news editor Tom Patton at Sun 'n Fun in April that the engine that is being offered with the airplane is a GE H-80 family engine producing 750 horsepower. It will cruise at 350 knots, and will climb anywhere between 6,000 and 6,500 feet per minute, Plackis said.

Greg Ryan, H Series North American Sales Director for GE Aviation, said that it took a change in the corporate culture at GE Aviation to work with a company producing an experimental airplane, and the Venom is the company's first venture into the experimental market. Ryan said that Venom's ability to think "outside the box" to market the airplane outside the civilian sector was one of the reasons GE decided to get involved.

Ryan said that the engine will be very operationally cost effective for those who buy the airplane.

The aircraft will be on display at AirVenture later this month.
