Flying magazine recently had the chance to fly and review the Lancair Evolution Piston, which features the same composite airframe as its turbine-powered counterpart along with a 350 hp Lycoming iE2 engine. Check out some shots of the experimental four-seater piston below.

Key Takeaways:
- Flying magazine reviewed the experimental Lancair Evolution Piston, a four-seater aircraft featuring a composite airframe and a 350 hp Lycoming iE2 engine.
- It boasts tremendous range capability due to its efficient piston engine burning less fuel than its turbine counterpart while maintaining the same fuel capacity.
- Optional rough landing gear allows access to unimproved strips (though it reduces cruise speed by 10 knots), and the aircraft offers comfortable rear seating with easy access via wide doors.
