What is the Epic E1000 GX and how fast is it?
The Epic E1000 GX is the fastest certified single-engine turboprop in production — over 300 KTAS cruise powered by a 1,200 SHP Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67A. Certified in July 2021, it delivers jet-like speed with turboprop short-field capability. Six seats, all-composite construction, and climb rates up to 4,000 fpm. Professional pilots consistently praise its handling and cabin space. Built in Bend, Oregon.
How much does an Epic E1000 GX cost to buy and operate?
New E1000 GX pricing starts around $4M+. The Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite provides excellent integration, though some competitors offer G3000 suites at this price point. Operating costs reflect the PT6A-67A engine — expect turboprop-level fuel burn and maintenance budgets. The aircraft rewards planned flying due to its immense power, but pilots report excellent fuel economy relative to its speed class.
Epic E1000 GX vs Pilatus PC-12 vs TBM 960 — which single turboprop?
The E1000 GX is the fastest of the three by a significant margin (300+ vs ~280 KTAS). The PC-12 NGX offers a larger cabin and cargo door, making it the utility champion. The TBM 960 provides the most sophisticated avionics (G3000) and excellent range. All three use PT6A engines. The E1000 GX is newest to market with the smallest installed base, so resale value track record is still developing.
