The Epic Aircraft E1000 GX represents a serious upgrade from the initial certified single-engine turboprop that secured FLYING’s Innovation Award in 2020.

In the We Fly report, editor-in-chief Julie Boatman flies this advanced, 1,200 hp cruiser around the Pacific Northwest on an extended demo mission and then shepherds the cross-country machine down to the Florida Keys to do what it does best—travel in style—and capture great photos for the print edition’s Issue 933, December 2022/January 2023.
