Epic Aircraft Helps Deliver OSH 21 Special Event Coverage

The Next Generation Epic E1000 GX Graces Oshkosh Display #235 -- Don't Miss It!

Epic Aircraft, based in Bend, Oregon, began redefining the rules of aviation in 2004 when it debuted its first experimental aircraft, the Epic LT.

Its artful combination of turbine power, composite technology, advanced avionics, and unforgettable luxury, packaged in a sleek, all carbon fiber airframe, caused the aviation industry to take notice. And they haven’t stopped.

In November 2019, Epic received FAA Type Certification for its award-winning E1000 model aircraft, which evolved from its predecessor, the Epic LT.

Now Epic is introducing the next generation, the E1000 GX, featuring the GFC 700 Automated Flight Control System and the Hartzell 5-Blade Composite Propeller.

The E1000 GX offers improved performance, safety, comfort, and versatility. It is the fastest, most affordable, and spacious six-place single-engine turboprop in the world.

Epic Aircraft, LLC specializes in the design and manufacture of high performance, all composite, six-seat single-engine, turboprop aircraft. Epic is a privately held, design-driven aviation company that conducts all of its engineering, manufacturing and administrative operations at its Bend, Oregon headquarters.
