Default Lancair turboprop

And not even close to "jet-like" speeds. Very few jets have an economy
cruise of 310 MPH and max cruise of only 385. This is a turboprop with,
duh, turboprop-like speeds. :-)


The max cruise is higher than that of the Eclipse and the Cessna
Citation Mustang...

And, yes, I expect virtually no market for it. There will always be a
few with more money than brains, but probably not more than a handful.


Depends on your definition of "handful". There are more than 30 Lancair
IVs with turbine engines on the FAA registry.
