As can be seen from the name, unlike civil airliners, private and dedicated aircraft can often carry hundreds of passengers. Boeing BBJ series and Airbus business jets can also carry nearly 100 people.
So?
The Epic Victory is a single-engine ultralight jet equipped with a PW600 jet engine from Pratt & Whitney Canada.
Epic used a Williams FJ33 engine during the testing phase, but switched to a PW600 engine for the final production phase.
The Epic Victory has four to five seats, including the pilot, in a 2+2 or 2+1+2 layout.
Epic Victory went from concept design to flying prototype in just six and a half months.
The first flight took place on July 6, 2007 at Roberts Airport in Redmond, Oregon.
The company had expected Epic Victory to be on the market for less than $1 million.
The 2007 Epic Victory ultralight jet was also shown and sold at the EAA Flyer in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
