Lancair Evolution Aircraft

The Lancair Evolution is the flagship of the line — a pressurised, four-seat experimental that can be built with a PT6 turboprop (or a piston engine), delivering certified-turboprop performance and cabin comfort in an amateur-built airframe. Fast, pressurised and modern, it is the top of the Lancair range, and like all Lancairs, builder quality and training are paramount.

  • Pressurisation & systems — verify integrity and modern-avionics fit.
  • Transition training & insurance — turbine + pressurised experimental demands serious training; verify path.
