  I love the twin concept on a Velocity, and I have not stopped buying lottery tickets, so, If one day I win it, I would complete my order for one, but to be honest that big tail in the back is a huge turn-off.

   

  I guess it is needed for some reason, but I hoped they could have done like the starship design and make it facing downwards instated of upwards

  I have got to think with 250-million people in the USA, at least 20 (the first year) will be ready, willing, and able to step into a modern personal twin!  I think the twin Velocity will not only look 'way-cool' but will perform well too.  I have talked with quite a few people over the years that expressed sincere interest in a 'baby starship'!

    Totally cool, that's for sure.  As a side-line marketing geek though, I'm wondering what the marketing research looks like on this?  Is there a sustainable market for a kit built twin?  Then again maybe the same uncertainty existed with Lancair with the IV-P and the Evolution??  

     

    I wish them the best of luck and I'm anxious to see the thing up close!

    I guess I question why they went with the big center tail and associated fuselage extension instead of just enlarging the winglets which should be effective at keeping the aircraft travelling in a straight line in the event of single engine operation- I am sure they thought otherwise about that, but there is certainly a lot more  wetted area back there now.

    Velocity has posted some new photos of the Velocity Twin. If you have not been to the web site recently, it's worth checking out.

    I'll be in Sebastian next month. Can't wait to see the twin in progress!
