| Founded in 1984 by Lance Neibauer, Lancair has become one of the most
successful kit manufacturers in the world. The company manufactures a number
of kit aircraft including the Lancair ES and Super ES, and the world’s
fastest piston-driven aircraft, the Lancair IV and IV-P. Lancair aircraft
hold several world speed records as well as championships in most major
cross-country air races. In July of 1999 The Legacy 2000 was introduced
as the successor to the Lancair 320/360. The Legacy provides additional
passenger and luggage space as well as increased performance over the previous
Lancair 360. Using a 310 hp Continental IO-550-N, the Legacy achieves cruise
speeds in excess of 276 mph at 8000 ft. In Sept of 2001 Lancair International
flew their turbine engine powered Lancair IV-P. Lancair has now introduced
their newest version of turbine power: The Lancair Sentry. This Walter
powered Lancair IV is a military-style tandem seat aircraft with left-side
throttle controls, and a rear hinge canopy. "The airplane
performs very similar to the existing Propjet model, achieving a cruise
speed of almost 400 mph! ”Not
only does this new Lancair kit yield blood-boiling speeds similar to the
IV-P Propjet model, it also offers increased yaw stability and excellent
visibility out of a newly designed rear hinge canopy. |
