10 Fastest Single Engine Turboprop Planes

hello everyone and welcome back to techprune channel today we will discuss 10 fastest single-engine turboprop planes private aircraft are not generally the best option when it comes to flying swiftly the future of personal aviation looks back on propeller-powered airplanes with growing fuel prices and rising environmental issues single-engine turboprop planes may be a viable solution to these issues while still being a fast mode of flight these planes can carry more weight in passengers than piston-powered single-engine airplanes and can typically fly up to 35 000 feet turboprop planes are more efficient than jets because they consume less fuel and they are also typically lighter in weight than jets let's take a look at some of the fastest single engine turboprop planes in the world

knots 370 miles per hour emb 314 super tucano is an improved variant with increased speeds and altitude capacity for tucano emb 312 training aircraft the super tucano prototype flew first in 1992 in 1995 embry air was given a contract to produce the super tucano version for the brazilian air force known as the light attack plane super tucano can do day and night's operations with minimum ground support from remote sites and poor runways in december 2003 the first aircraft was delivered 50 aircraft have been in operation by september 2007. number 4 epic lieutenant 325 knots 374 miles per hour the epic lt is an american kit built single-engined turboprop aircraft intended for use by private pilots epic lieutenant is a high performance kit built high performance cargo fiber with a high speed of 325 knots and climbs of 3000 feet per minute the epic design is classified as experimental and cannot be rented epic aircraft's bankruptcy in august 2009 in acquisition by new owners in april 2010 under ownership of the reorganized company the certificated version is to be called the e-1000 number three sokata tbm 900-330 knots 380 miles per hour the tbm-900 is the world's fastest single-engine turboprop not only is it fast but it also only burns 57 gallons of fuel per hour at high speed crews the 900 model offers an upgraded environment for both pilots and passengers along with improved efficiency and remarkable performance without increased fuel consumption or additional engine power one of the popular updated features of the tbm 900 is noise reduction significantly lower cabin levels create a more peaceful flight the tbm 900 has also has a more controlled cabin due to lower vibration levels number two epic e1000 gx 333 knots 383 miles per hour a new standard for speed agility and comfort is set with the certified epic e1000 e1000 is a six-seater turboprop single-engine aircraft made by the united states epic aircraft unlike other competitors the epic e1000 uses
