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 aircraft’s 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.

Lancair’s 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. Lancair’s 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 you’ll receive unlimited, free technical assistance, five days a week, eight hours a day – forever. Lancair’s 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.
