Featuring the Garmin GFC 700 Automated Flight Control System (AFCS) and the Hartzell 5-Blade Composite Propeller. Improved performance, safety, comfort and versatility. Delivering a more Epic E1000.
The equation is simple. The strength-to-weight benefits of carbon fiber, generously applied to a sophisticated aerodynamic airframe, attached to a 1200-horsepower engine delivers results that are simply…Epic.
No other high-performance aircraft employs carbon fiber so extensively throughout its airframe, including skins, spars and flight controls, enabling the E1000 GX to consistently outperform the competition, delivering unrivaled power, performance, comfort and versatility. With cruise speeds of 333 KTAS, climb rate of 4,000 feet per minute, full fuel payload of 1,100 pounds, and range over 1,560 nautical miles, the E1000 GX offers true jet-class performance at a highly competitive price and operating cost.
The E1000 GX is the result of Epic’s unwavering commitment to a pilot-driven design process, where performance, function and form are all priorities. Human factors, styling, layout and design goals complement those of engineering to optimize the user experience, providing tremendous safety benefits, ease of operation, and fun.
Design features of the E1000 GX include:
The E1000 GX is sleek and statuesque, with elegant lines that draw attention on even the busiest ramps. The cockpit and cabin are spacious, with generous head and leg room able to accommodate 6’8″ tall pilots and passengers. The expansive wraparound windshield provides excellent crew visibility and the oversized cabin windows brighten the interior. The impressive 1,100-pound full fuel payload can accommodate up to six adults and 200 pounds of luggage.
The leather reclining seats are each equipped with side pockets, small item & technology storage, headset jacks, power ports, beverage holders, heat and air conditioning vents, and LED reading lights. Electronically-dimmable windows offer precision control over light, glare, heat and UV rays. Technologically-advanced sound proofing reduces engine noise, further enhancing cabin comfort.
From busy urban airports to remote backcountry airstrips, the versatile E1000 GX gives you access to hundreds of destinations not available to most high-performance aircraft. Its superior short field and slow handling capabilities, rugged trailing link landing gear, and full reversing prop let you operate out of airstrips in exotic locations just as comfortably as being at home. Imagine the possibilities.
The innovative, ergonomically designed all-glass flight deck is a masterpiece of luxury, comfort, sophistication and functionality, with advanced situational analysis and consolidated workflow managed via convenient accessible controls. The pilot command center intuitively positions all critical inputs to reduce reach and fatigue. The logic on the panel is cleverly laid out, with button sequencing from left to right for startup and right to left for shutdown.
Fully integrated with the Garmin G1000 NXi Avionics Suite, the GFC 700 Automated Flight Control System (AFCS) provides flight director, autopilot, yaw damper, automatic and manual trim capabilities, along with advanced safety features such as coupled go-around, emergency descent protection and more, all intended to inspire confidence and ensure safe, smooth flight operations.
