The Lancair Propjet is a four-seat, pressurized, composite aircraft powered by a 750-hp Walter 601E turboprop engine.

The aircraft is based on Lancair's successful kit-plane, the Lancair IV.

Like its piston-powered predecessor, the Propjet is noted for its performance, with a typical cruise speed of 325 knots at 24,000 feet and a climb performance of 4,000 feet-per-minute.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes operates several Propjets, testing components for the 787. [ [http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=1277491 Photos: Lancair Lancair PropJet Aircraft Pictures | Airliners.net ] ]
