A short video of my recent flight in Velocity Aircraft's Velocity XL kit plane. We took it up for a spin at Big South Fork Airpark in Oneida, Tennessee, and had a great time.

The Velocity XL has the largest cabin of all 4 seat kit aircraft. With 47.5" shoulder to shoulder, the XL is, in fact, larger than most general aviation aircraft including most twins. With recommended engine capacity of 260 to 310 HP, expect a cruise speed of 200 knots (230 mph)... from what must be one of the world's most spacious and practical single engine aircraft! The "XL" stands for Xtra Large...and this plane is extra wide by 5.5" and extra long by 10". In addition, the pilot/co-pilot height is increased by 1" and the rear seat height increased by 2". Extra fuel (up to 93 gal) to feed an extra large engine 260 and 310 horse power.

  • @elcamaronazo if it is a turbo engine it wouldn't be rated by HP. it would be LBS of thrust.

  • Around £91,000 for the 4 person model with retracting undercarriage.

  • @elcamaronazo You mean "turbo charged", not a turbo engine.

  • cool plane, how much does it cost to buy a velocity kit plane?

  • one beautiful plane!

  • @brewster727 about 1000nm with a full tank (70 gallons).
