Our ΛircrΛft · Epic E1000 GX
The Epic E1000 GX
A single-engine turboprop that cruises like a light jet, climbs like one, and lands where one cannot. 333 knots, 1,560 nautical miles, and four club seats with the most legroom in its class.
01 — Speed
Seventy knots on a PC-12
333 knots true. On a two-hour leg that is roughly twenty-five minutes you get back, every time. Against a King Air the gap is wider still, and against a light jet on anything under about six hundred miles the difference largely disappears once you account for climb and descent.
02 — Comfort
The most club-seat legroom in its class
Four club seats facing each other with 31" of legroom, a 55" cabin, and a fifth seat up front. Starlink onboard, so the connection in the air is the same one you have on the ground. And a 1,100 lb full-fuel payload — the highest in its class, which in practice means bags and people, not bags or people.
03 — Λccess
Runways jets get turned away from
Hilton Head. St. Simons. Key West. Short coastal fields that put you where you are actually going instead of an hour up the road. Field performance is the whole reason a turboprop still wins these routes.
04 — Economics
One engine, one crew, lower cost
A light jet burns roughly twice the fuel to cover the same regional leg. On the trips most of our clients actually fly, the Epic delivers close to jet block times at meaningfully lower cost.

Manufacturer-published maximums, checked September 2026. Day-to-day cruise is lower for every aircraft here — a PC-12 is typically flown around 265 knots in the low twenties, the Epic at 333 knots at 34,000 feet. Takeoff is over a 50-foot obstacle or the manufacturer’s stated field length at maximum weight, sea level, standard day. Range conditions vary by manufacturer. Legroom is club-seat knee room — the Epic’s is published (Business Jet Traveler); the other turboprops are our own approximate figures. Jets vary by configuration and are not shown. Real-world performance depends on weight, weather and runway.
We do Epic sh*t.
Everything Else
When the Epic isn’t the right airplane,
we say so.
Twelve passengers to Aspen, or a nonstop to London, is not a job for the Epic. We source the right airplane for every mission — flown by other certificated carriers, arranged by people who fly for a living and know what to ask them.
