[H2] the VELOCITY
The Velocity is a true high performance airplane with the ability to make 1000 mile cross country trips at speeds in excess of 200 kts while carrying four adults and baggage in total comfort and ramp presence styling. With the rear mounted engine, the noise, propeller turbulence, engine heat and fumes are behind you, providing an atmosphere comparable to a modern sports sedan. Extremely crisp controls and excellent aerodynamic stability allows the Velocity to fly as if it was mounted on rails, allowing you to travel long distances with minimal pilot load and still dogfight with the best of the two seat sport planes.

The Velocity V-Twin was designed to provide a safe and efficient transportation aircraft especially for those who fly at night, over mountains, over large bodies of water, serious IFR and those who just want the redundancy of a second engine to get them home or to an airport in the event of an engine failure. One of the design goals was to provide a twin engine aircraft that does NOT have the “stall/spin” problems associated with most twin engine aircraft. Think of it this way: Should you lose one engine of a conventional twin during the most critical departure point when the airspeed is low and in a climb attitude, panic will set in and often the pilot will not initiate the essential elements of an engine out procedure. He now finds that it takes full rudder to keep the airplane from yawing, airspeed is decaying and a turn back to the runway can result in the lowered wing to stall. Not much different than most airplanes where you use full rudder and slow the airplane down to a stall resulting in a spin. Key decisions used in a twin are: “identify,” “verify,” and “secure.” Identify the engine that failed by using the dead foot, dead engine terminology, verify by retarding the throttle that represents the dead engine and then secure the dead engine by feathering the propeller and shutting off the fuel to that engine. Struggling all at the same time to maintain a safe flying speed and keeping the airplane from crashing into the trees or other obstacles on the departure path.
[H1] How is the V-Twin Different?
Here is what is different in our V-Twin. The canard design results in the canard stalling before the main wing can reach a critical stall angle. The nose will bob up and down but the wing continues to fly. The end result is that IF you can’t stall the main wing, you can’t spin. This gives the pilot time to identify, verify and secure even if his air speed decays to the point where the canard does the bob up and down thing. Our power to weight is higher than most conventional twins thus giving us a better rate of climb should an engine fail.

The Velocity XL has the largest cabin of all 4 seat kit aircraft. With 47.5" shoulder to shoulder, the XL is, in fact, larger than most general aviation aircraft – including  most twins. With recommended engine capacity of 260 to 310 HP, expect a cruise speed of 200 knots (230 mph)... from what must be one of the world's most spacious and practical single engine aircraft! The "XL" stands for Xtra Large...and this plane is extra wide by 5.5" and extra long by 10". In addition, the pilot/co pilot height is increased by 1" and the rear seat height increased by 2". Extra fuel (up to 93 gal) to feed an extra large engine – 260 and 310 horse power. With the turbocharged models reaching speeds of 270 kts. The Velocity XL is the flagship of the Velocity line of fine airplanes.This aircraft can also be built as a fixed gear for those who are not complex rated or just want a break on insurance, while still being able to cruise over 170kts at 11 GPH.
​
If you are someone who needs to get where you're going in a hurry the TXL is the aircraft for you. With a twin turbocharged Continental TSIO-550 and built in oxygen you will see speeds in excess of 260 kts! While still keeping the total cost of the aircraft under $300,000 with a glass panel (Garmin G3x) - this aircraft is simply untouchable in its class.Anchor 2Pricing Options

Compare PricingNo other kit aircraft offers the quality, performance, comfort and superior design of the standard Velocity. This plane's aerodynamic stability is one of its strongest assets. Featuring easy-entry dual gull-wing doors, this model accommodates 160 to 215 HP powerplants, providing a cruise of from 160 to 187 knots, depending on horsepower, propeller pitch and landing gear selected. As with the XL model, this kit is available with fixed or retract gear.
​
The Velocity SE is the perfect economical travel machine as long as you fit, this is the aircraft we do all of our transition training in. With lower landing speeds than the XL and V-Twin this could be the perfect aircraft to get you into the canard space while still being able to cruise at 160+kts with a sub 8 gallon per hour burn. The fixed gear will allow you to build time in a canard without having to worry about your insurance payment.
​
Bottom line: For under $90,000 using your tablet for navigation and engine information, with a new 160 HP Titan engine with a fixed pitched propeller and VFR equipment, cruise at 160 knots TAS for over 800 nautical miles.
