Epic delivers 100th certified turboprop
The milestone coincided with the company’s 11th annual Odyssey Fly-In in Bend, Oregon, where owners, pilots and partners gathered to mark the occasion.
In just five years, Epic Aircraft has introduced and certified two next-generation models, the E1000 GX and the E1000 AX.

Epic Aircraft has delivered its 100th certified aircraft, an E1000 AX featuring a special commemorative logo on its exterior and interior seats. It will be based in Texas.

The milestone delivery coincided with the designer and manufacturer's 11th annual Odyssey Fly-In, a gathering of Epic Aircraft owners, pilots and partners in Bend, Oregon.

Achieving this delivery milestone underscores the strength of demand for our aircraft,” says CEO Doug King. “We reached our 100th certified aircraft faster than anyone imagined.”

Epic delivered its first certified airplane, the E1000, in 2020. In the five years since, it has introduced and certified two next-generation models, the E1000 GX and the E1000 AX. Collectively, the fleet has now logged more than 41,000 flight hours.

“From our first to our 100th aircraft, each certified Epic reflects the innovation, passion and commitment of our employee, and the belief of our owner community,” King adds. “Each delivery is more than an aircraft. It’s the beginning of a new adventure.”
