The VLJ, single-pilot, twin-engine Epic Elite Jet carbon composite design has 3100 lbs of thrust from two Williams FJ33-4A FADEC engines. The computer-designed fuselage allows the Elite to operate to Flight Level 410. The carbon composite construction requires no rivets producing a smooth and fast surface that offers a more functional cabin and cockpit.
The Elite can cruise at 410 KTAS and travel more than 1600 nautical miles with a payload of nearly 1700 lbs, with 6-8 passengers, full fuel.
The pilots enjoy ergonomic seats and a state-of-the-art glass cockpit. In the cabin, deep-cushion leather seats recline and with a maximum cabin pressurization of 8.5 psi.
The Elite is a 7-place experimental jet.
