Materials
Like every Lancair, the PropJet's major airframe is constructed of
advanced composite materials. Cured at 270 degrees Fahrenheit under
vacuum pressure, these NASA-tested, epoxy based composites are among
the lightest, strongest, stiffest materials known.
Testing
Component parts are rigorously tested during aircraft development
and throughout the manufacturing process. Lancair engineers are
committed to the ideas that perfection of the whole can be accomplished
only through perfection of the smallest details. For example, in
addition to computer analysis, a full flutter test program was conducted
on actual aircraft components beginning with an extensive Ground
Vibration Survey (GVS), which is utilized over forty accelerometers
covering all points of the airframe.
In environmental testing chambers, Lancair engineers
simulate extreme natural conditions that the aircrafts materials
might be exposed to during their long life. Samples are tested at
room temperature and in extreme "hot/wet" conditions.
During this testing phase, the incredible strength and stiffness
of the fiberglass and carbon fiber materials becomes most evident.
To finally confirm materials and engineering data, a complete static
load-testing program is conducted for the wing and other specific
load bearing areas.
Lancairs impeccable safety record and record-setting
performance are the ultimate outcome of this rigorous testing process.
You can rest assured that your PropJet is one of the best-engineered
aircraft in the skies.
From the moment you commit to building a PropJet,
you become a member of the Lancair family. Lancairs fastbuild
kit, accessory catalog service, avionics shop, free technical assistance
and builder assist program make the assembly process quick, efficient
and enjoyable. Our flight training, pre-flight inspection and flight
test programs are the only such programs in the entire industry.
They are provided for you and will instill confidence and safety
with your finished Lancair.
Lancair Builder Assist
Program
Nothing beats having experienced technical assistance during the
early stages of your Lancair assembly. In our builder assist program,
conducted at our facility, you not only learn the basics of advanced
composite construction, but in you will head home with not only
a lot accomplished, but also the knowledge and confidence to quickly
and accurately complete your airframe.
Free Technical Assistance
When you buy a Lancair youll receive unlimited, free technical
assistance, five days a week, eight hours a day forever.
Lancairs staff is available to advise on all aspects of your
assembly and final systems installations, from spinner to tail.
Free guidance also includes optional installations such as autopilots,
new avionics and system accessories. And obviously, nobody knows
better what works best on the Lancair airframe than us.
