About the E1000
Epic E1000
The Epic E1000 (and its updated GX/AX variants) is a six-seat, single-engine turboprop that focuses on pure speed and climb performance. Originally born from the experimental Epic LT kit plane, the E1000 is fully FAA certified and constructed almost entirely of carbon fiber. It is positioned as a direct competitor to the Daher TBM series and the Piper M600, boasting one of the highest speeds in its class.
Key Features for GA Buyers
- Class-Leading Speed: With a max cruise of 333 KTAS, it is significantly faster than most single-engine competitors.
- Climb Performance: The 1,200 HP Pratt & Whitney engine delivers a 4,000 fpm initial climb rate, allowing pilots to reach flight levels and smooth air very quickly.
- Cabin Comfort: The cabin is wider than many competitors, pressurized to 6.6 psi, and features modern G1000 NXi avionics.
- Payload Utility: The “AX” variant specifically allows for “fill the seats” utility with a useful load approaching 2,860 lbs, a rarity in this class.
Trade-offs
- Price: As a high-performance turbine aircraft, acquisition and operating costs are substantial compared to piston alternatives.
- Runway Requirements: While decent for a turboprop, its takeoff and landing distances over obstacles (approx. 2,200–2,400 ft) are longer than some STOL-capable turboprops like the PC-12.
