Customer:  Western Pacific Aerospace, Inc.

Program:  Preliminary design of a high performance cabin class turboprop capable of seating six full sized individuals, their baggage and full fuel for a range of over 1,200 miles.  The airplane is to be all composite, although a quick trade study will be done in order to evaluate the potential savings of fabricating the wings out of aluminum..

Engine options for the airplane range from the auto V-8 based derivatives to the PT-6 family.  The eventual goal for this program is certification and as such, it is anticipated the production aircraft would utilize the Pratt and Whitney engine family.

Status:  On hold until the developments funds are secured.
