This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly. Developments in aircraft design and engine technology have allowed us to fly farther, faster, and carry more payload. Thrust (how it moves forward). That force is called thrust. Thats exactly what engine controls do.

Full-fuel payload is a whopping 1,150 pounds, and max landing weight is 7,600. Taxiing requires forays into Beta as there is so much thrust at idle that the Epic will rapidly accelerate beyond taxi speed. The Epic E1000 AX’s clean design is augmented by the most power ever on a production turboprop single—1,200 hp. gph fuel burn.

Another advantage of the counter-rotating props is the elimination of torque roll. This is the tendency to dig in the left tip float during takeoff while countering engine torque. lb/sq ft Power loading 10.32 Switching quickly in and out of reverse is not really part of the props’ repertoire, so plan your maneuvers.
