jetjr Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 No idea really, maybe $60K cheaper and diesel with PT6 option in future Wider, faster, nearly double usable load, vastly more range Probably should have a read about it Just some very informative info and design details there you dont normally see. Also video of composite construction methods and tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 So - since the website gives zero information on this: what is Pete's background and CV for aircraft design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePousson Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Try this website. Give info on actual progress. They are still in the mold making phase. The new team is in operation lead by Peter Muller of Australia/Silicon Valley baked designer - the business is relocated to KCNI (Cherokee County Regional Airport) in GA . https://medium.com/@RaptorAircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMarkOZ Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Admirable progress todate and the detailed step by step videos take you on the journey. Impressive amount of deposits todate. What I like about this is that in the end he is going to make the plans 'open source' to accelerate innovation and design updates.
