Epic Aircraft has extended the production schedule for its E1000 single-engine turboprop, now aiming for certification by the first half of 2016 and initial deliveries to follow.
Despite the delay, the E1000 project is progressing with structural testing underway and the first prototype slated to fly by the end of August.
Epic is investing heavily in production infrastructure and building inventory to prepare for a ramp-up in production, driven by increasing customer interest and a growing reservation list for the $2.5 million aircraft.
Epic Aircraft announced Sunday that the production schedule for its E1000 single-engine turboprop has been extended into next year. Originally the airplane was projected to go on sale late this year.
“We are solidly on track for certification by the first half of 2016, with initial deliveries and production ramp to follow,” said Epic CEO Doug King.
