REFLECTOR: V-twin with AOPA

[John Abraham]

Richard,

 

Sales price of something like that would be $2.3mil.  Still interested?  But the engines would be FADEC!

Ok how about unpressurized 6 seat with a pair of twin turbo 550's or a pair of turbo normalized 580's. 

 

That would be a good kick in the pants when you push the power levers forward. 

 

Since the plan was originally to compete with the twin Comanche we could take the 720's from the Comanche 400 ramp them up to 780's and then we let that thing loose. 

 

I would like to see the first piston twin that climbs at 3,000 ft per min on one engine. 

 

Now that velocity I would love to build!

As I understand it, pressurization is not even a consideration with that design. Fuselage would have to be re-engineered entirely.
now a 6 seater, with 2 Deltahawks.....................................

We have the proof of concept so now let ramp that thing up.

We need to scale that thing into a 6 seat 300kt (possibly pressurized) turbo charge piston twin.

Now that would be king of the market.
