What's the advantage over a Velocity?

 

 

[jetjr]

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.

And over 350 deposits!

 

I've known Pete for many years and wish he & the team all the best with the project

So - since the website gives zero information on this: what is Pete's background and CV for aircraft design?

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 .

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.
