I have been following the evolution of the Velocity design & performance for years now..and I can totally see this airplane becoming as great as a TBM or similar ,with gaz turbines..it really deserves a larger model..
Beech Starship one. Lets modify the design and do away with the standard mills and add two small turbofan engines on pylons similar to the HondaJet. This would make for a very nice experimental.
@@thisismagacountry1318 Might be a better choice to go with the CD155 as those are about the same weight as the IO360. Turbo and Range benefits, plus Jet-A would make this quite the plane.
-Rate of clim single engine? Not posted. -During critical take off, one engine out, how is the redundancy performance? -do the props feather during take off engine failure? -engine counter clockwise rotation? Can it get insure? -Nice redundancy concept during flight? -12 mpg per engine or for both engines?
My thoughts exactly. It is a beautiful aircraft, but the review left out many details and then concluded with a price difference to aircraft in a whole other market category the Velocity Twin does not even compete in.
I would love to know how these perform in a power-off landing. Does the plane become uncontrollable? Are there special, non-intuitive handling characteristics?
The front wing is called a canard the benefits are that the aircraft can't stall here's why. The canard design results in the canard stalling before the main wing can reach a critical stall angle. The nose will bob up and down but the wing continues to fly The end result is that you can not stall the airplane. Thanks for watching!
@@Airplane_Stuff I would go with a V8 . LT4 @ 441 cu inches. And build the engine 4 torque. N/A . And then a gear reduction with a 4 or 5 Blade Pusher Prop.
@@thisismagacountry1318 A properly built V8 . Say 441 cu inch. With the best of everything. Billet Crank, Pistons, Conrods, Block . Efi Crank Trigger Ignition, Coils near Plugs . And maybe a Whipple Supercharger. 450/550 hp with OODLES of Torque . Not entirely sure if the Supercharger would work up High in the Sky . Need 2 talk with someone about that . With A Gear Reduction ⚙️ 👌. Next choice would be a Turbine Engine. But that swap requires many hrs & training. Main thing would be power 2 weight ratio . A 4/5 bladed prop on either . Aircraft Engines cost CrAzY $$$ where the V8 around $ 30 k for what l have just described.
@@Robert-mn8gc You don't have to go through all of that expense. Lexus has the 1UZ - FE V8 that's already aviation certified. It came out in the original LS400. Has a 6 main bearing cap. Overengineered and bulletproof.

@@thisismagacountry1318 I was shocked to his replies. Very rude and ill manner. He can correct me in a nice way but he chooses to be rude and arrogant.
I love this plane, but comparing it to the DA62 is more than just a stretch. These two planes are so fundamentally different a comparison just because they are both twin-engine aircraft is irrelevant.
Why is it bad to compare them tho? I'm not ultra conscious about the da 62, but for what i can recall its a light twin with space for 4 adults + 2 childs, ~200nmi miles more range and a parachute. Besides that, what else is there that makes it a sin to compare it with this kit?
On March 23, 1999, Duluth native Scott D. Anderson was killed in a plane crash while flight-testing the first production model SR20 before it went on sale. Anderson was a pilot, author, engineer, and adventurer who served as chief test pilot at Cirrus in the mid- to late 1990s, performing all the in-flight test deployments of the CAPS./ mistakes happen thanks for watching fly safe.
If you're talking about the Appleton crash it wasn't out of control, reported engine problems. It wasn't the promo ship, it was bought half built and finished by number of different shops. And the two pilots that died were ferry flying it back to Sabastian with the landing gears down due to a problem with the gears on a ferry license that required the flight to be flown with gears down. In case you are unaware certified bids crash all the time too. The Promo V twin did have an incident where it went off a runway and was damaged due to Pilot error, was repaired and is still flying.

I went there a year ago and they were building a twin turbo prop! I wanna see if that thing is airborn yet
I heard it's still in the works
But the moment it comes out you better believe I will have a video thanks for watching
Very good thanks
With a higher aspect ratio wing and tip tanks this coud be a monster.
Nice video
Thanks!
It is possible to ask them to fully assemble it for you (if you pay more ofc )
Hope they make an XL version so you can seat 3 adults in the back

Cool idea
@Thread Ready What about a turbodiesel version? I'd look into the Austro 300 if it could be adapted.
Lower cost fuel, greater availability.

@@AlexanderBingham Thanks for the tip.
I like the Austro 300 TBO of 1800 hours and 170 hp each for my Velocity Twin build.
Can I fill half of the baggage area with an auxiliary fuel tank ?

"7' 10" wingspan, 34' canard span"? Shouldn't those numbers be reversed? Absolutely gorgeous plane! I can only wish...
'
Height is 7' 10" and wingspan, 34 feet and canard span is 188 in. it is one gorgeous plane!
seriously beat me to it by 6 hours.
I would love to know how these perform in a power-off landing. Does the plane become uncontrollable? Are there special, non-intuitive handling characteristics?
Off course not 🤣 what makes this plane flies is his wings not the engine. Keep your speed and plan your approach as any other plane in emergency
Greetings, can anyone tell me the benefits or the reason for the front wing, thank you for your time!

@@Airplane_Stuff Got it 👍 take care, best to you.
@@nsurman312 Any time!
Just don't understand Why the Twin isn't faster than the single ? Got me stumped
The single is a beast

Love it! Could you tell me what is the grip shown at 03:32 ? It looks like the TEAKWOOD, but does it have a PTT in front instead of on top?
www.velocityaircraft.com Maybe they will know? Thanks
Has it been certified by the FAA ? Is for sale ?
It's an experimental kit plane. You build it yourself.
It is an experimental, kit. The company is in Florida.
specs appear mixed up ..22ft height?
that is the length overall. it Goes Like This length overall 22ft) height 7 10ft. Thanks for Watching

Not in my opinion. Thanks for watching
No thanks. One crashed few months back. The primo ship. Was out of control. Stick to certified birds.
