TOP 5 Fastest Single Engine Turboprops

[Music] hey guys welcome to a brand new video today we'll be taking a look at some of the fastest single-engine turboprop civilian airplanes we also did a video on the fastest single-engine military airplanes if you're interested in that it will be linked below now let's get started coming in at number five we have the piper m600 sls in 2015 piper introduced the m600 as an upgrade to the m500 it received its faa certification on june 18 2016. between june 2016 and march 2018 50 were delivered mostly in the us and most were on or flown when piper introduced the m 600 they exceeded industry expectations for performance and operational ease in a single engine pressurized turbo prop a clean sheet designed wing was a key foundational enhancement that paved the way for the product's growth now they're using that platform to raise the bar in safety luxury and support introducing the m600 sls setting new standards for aircraft in every category and meeting the highest standard in general aviation it can hold up to 5 passengers the m600 has a unit cost of us 3.189 million dollars with a max crew speed of 274 knots the piper m600 has a basic operating weight of 3 650 pounds a max takeoff weight of 6 000 pounds and a full fuel payload of 658 pounds the piper m600 has a max operating altitude of 30 000 feet and a max rate of climb while being fully loaded of 1556 feet per minute the piper m600 can fly a range of 1658 miles with 45 minute reserves when flying at 184 knots but even at a faster 274 knots it can fly 1209 nautical miles the landing distance for the piper m600 is 2659 feet but that includes a 50-foot obstacle the pipe ram 600 is powered by a pred and whitney pt6a-42a engine model with a power rating of 600 shaft horsepower at number 4 we have the pilatus pc12 ngx the pilatus pc12 is a single-engine turboprop passenger and cargo aircraft manufactured by pilatus aircraft of switzerland the main market for the aircraft is corporate transport and regional airline operators the pc-12 is the best-selling pressurized single-engine turbine-powered aircraft in the world the cabins of the pc-12 around the world are partly inspired by the famous car manufacturer bmw pilata says together with bmw design works we are pleased to offer the most comfortable and modern cabin experience ever in the pc12 ngx which is two inspired by pilatus's own business jet the pc24 the pc12 ngx has many configurations holding up to 10 passengers the base price of the pc-12 ngx in 2020 is 490 000 us dollars but if you want an executive configured aircraft it's priced at 5 sixty nine thousand dollars with a max cruise speed of 290 knots the pc12 has a basic operating weight of six thousand eight hundred and three pounds a max takeoff weight of ten thousand four hundred and fifty pounds and a useful load of 3647 pounds the pc12 ngx has a max operating altitude of 30 000 feet and a max rate of climb of and 1920 feet per minute the pc-12 also has a max range of one thousand eight hundred and three nautical miles and it only requires two thousand four hundred and eighty five feet of run rate to take off and two thousand one hundred and seventy feet of run rate to land the pc12 ngx is powered by the pradin whitney pt6e 67xp engine model with a power rating of 1200 shaft horsepower next at number three is the evolution turbine the evolution is an american pressurized low wing four place single engine light aircraft made from carbon fiber composite developed by lancler which is supplied as an amateur built kit by evolution aircraft the evolution can be powered by a lycoman piston engine or a pratta whitney pt6 engine it came in third place because the aircraft has several engine options there's the eevee ot 550 with a 550 shaft horsepower turbine engine with 265 knot crews then there's the evot 750 which has a 750 shaft horsepower turbine engine with a 300 knot cruise but then that's the evo t850 which is powered by the prana whitney pt6-1408 867 shaft horsepower turbine engine with a max cruise speed of 330 knots the evot 850 has a cost of about 1.5 million us dollars a maximum range of 1287 nautical miles with ifr reserves it has a max operating altitude of 28 000 feet and a payload of 800 pounds coming in at number 2 we have the tvm-940 the tvm is a high single-engine turboprop light business and utility aircraft the tbm-940 offers the ultimate developments in avionics and comfort for a general aviation aircraft as an evolution of the tbm 900 and of the tbm 930 the tbm 940 retains its airframe commonality with its predecessors incorporating a variety of aluminum and steel alloys titanium as well as advanced composite materials the tbm airframe offers unmatched structural strength and durability at its lowest possible weight from its inception the tbm aircraft family employed a failed safe airframe design including the use of multiple load paths a crack stopper band and an optimized number of access panels to maximize structural life and subsystem reliability while also minimizing repair cycle times all this while opening a new era by offering an enhanced human machine interface environment for pilots and providing more comfort to its passengers the tbm 940 can hold up to six passengers it has a cost of about 4.3 million us dollars with a max cruise speed of 330 knots the tbm 940 has a basic operating weight of 4 629 pounds a max takeoff weight of 7 394 pounds and a full fuel payload of 891 pounds the tbm 940 has a max operating altitude of 31 000 feet and advertises the ability to reach that altitude in 18 minutes the tbm has a max range of 1730 nautical miles when flying at 252 knots at 31 000 feet but even at a faster 326 knots it can fly 1400 nautical miles based on one pilot and 45 minute fuel reserves this aircraft needs about 2 380 feet to take off and 2 430 feet to land but that includes a 50 foot obstacle the tbm 940 is powered by the pradin whitney pt6a 66d engine model with a power rating of 850 shaft horsepower and in the number one place we have the epic e1000 gx the now faa certified epic e1000 gx is an american single-engine six-seat turboprop light aircraft developed by epic aircraft of bend oregon epic's plan was that the epic e1000 gx would be the fastest single-engine civil aircraft at the time of its introduction on epic aircraft's official website this is how they describe the aircraft from urban city center to remote backcountry strips the versatile e-1000 provides access to more airports than any other aircraft in its class with speed performance superior short field and slow handling capabilities trailing link landing gear and full reversing prop epic expands your horizon from the concrete jungle to the tropical jungle and beyond the epic e1000 gx has a cost of about 3.85 million us dollars with a max cruise speed of 333 knots the epic e1000 has a max takeoff weight of 8 000 pounds and a full fuel payload of 1 100 pounds and the epic e1000 gx is not just the fastest on this list but it can also fly the highest and climb the fastest it has a max operating altitude of 34 000 feet and it can climb at an impressive rate of 4 000 feet per minute the epic e1000 gx has a range of 1385 nautical miles when flying at 325 knots at 34 000 feet but at a slower 265 knots it can fly 1650 nautical miles this aircraft only needs two hundred and fifty four feet of runway to take off and two thousand three hundred and ninety nine feet to land but that also includes a fifty foot obstacle the epic e1000 gx is powered by the pratta whitney pt6a six engine model with a power rating of 1200 shaft horsepower and that concludes our list if you want to see the military version of this video it will
