10 Fastest Personal SINGLE PISTON ENGINE Airplanes

[@TK0_23_]

That Lancer Evolution pictured here, sure looks like a TurboProp.

[@FamilyManMoving]

Yup. But they do have the piston option.

[@jebise1126]

3:37 that looks like turbo prop... oh yes 1 was made with piston engines and 70+ with pt6... good start of this video

[@toddwadle468]

All yours for only $19.95! But wait there’s more! This guy sounds like an infomercial. 😂

[@raybord1]

These are super fast for just one piston. lol. Learn something new everyday ;)

[@michaelklepacz]

F**k the haters that say you have a sales voice. Your voice over quality is top notch.

[@bernardanderson3758]

My favorite for my family and baggage is the Cessna Turbo 206 but for comfort and speed is the Luxury Travel the A-36 Bonanza

[@krisperkreme6021]

Why do Bonanzas crash so much?

[@aat1172]

@@krisperkreme6021 Because wealthy pilots buy them and don't have the skill to properly handle the performance.

Say mate could we have an update of best single piston under 150k or 100k in 2023 ?

[@bencoyle7555]

Hello, I just thought I’d give everyone a quick quote on 2 of the best aircraft on this list. I’ve owned both of these aircraft before. I currently own a brand new 2022 Cirrus SR-22T. I have the GTS package, which is the biggest (and of course most expensive) package. It includes all the available options Cirrus offers, such as Flight Into Known Ice (FIKI), Enhanced Vision System (EVS), Surface Watch, Active Traffic, Chartview, and larger 12” primary displays (regular size is 10” I believe), I also have the upgraded Hartzell 4 blade prop ($22,000) Cirrus Global Connect ($15,000) Engine preheater ($2,000) and Air Conditioning ($32,000) The GTS package cost me an extra $180,000, I also purchased the extended warranty ($20,000) and the additional 8 day transition and instructor training program ($4,500), and with the base price being a little under $830,000 Altogether, the aircraft cost me around $1.4 million with tax. I also owned a 2017 Cessna TTX that I had custom built in 2016. It was also fully optioned out and cost me about $890,000. They’re both one hell of an airplane, and I would absolutely recommend both of them to anyone.

[@robinj.9329]

Back when I was first Trained; the 200 mph Single was nearly as fast as your 220 mph twin! Then there were a few "Turbo-supercharged" singles! Cruising at maybe 235 mph in the lowerer "Flight Levels". Next faster? The twin Turbo-props! King Air or Aero Commanders. Oh? JETS ? The Lockheed Jet Star or the Lear 24. Happy Flying. (If you didn't catch it? I was trained in 1969!)

[@ConvairDart106]

Poorly done. You show a turboprop while talking about a piston engine, and then show a Continental while describing a Lycoming!

[@drewgibbons5464]

Did he? Or are you a ^^$&

[@drewgibbons5464]

Ok, one cont. Mis named. Other wise? Thought it was great.

[@taiming71]

Bonanza or a turbo 206 would be my choice if my bank account would allow it. Both have been around the world. The Bonanza was solo'ed by the youngest pilot in history. The 206 was a non Turbo and flew form Hawaii to San Francisco with 2 people on board and a huge extra fuel tank where the back seats went.

[@Istandby666]

I've flown on a 206. Everyone better have noise cancelling headphones. The interior is not quiet. At least not on the version I flew in. Out of all of these, even though I'm not a fan of the T tail, it would have to be the first one.

[@lionden8421]

To make these more enjoyable, you could ease up on the sales pitch voice 🙂

[@GrantOakes]

WOW, the Lancair Evolution was shown as a turbo prop! Get your info right!

[@Dwaynesaviation]

There are no recent footage of the piston version... But they're basically the same plane... Just different engines

[@K3MU3L]

@@Dwaynesaviation Still...aesthetics count...The piston engine model looks soo different at the front.

[@TheTerrypcurtin]

Bellanca Super Viking turbo. 185 knots. . $70,000 for a nice one with Garmin and A/P

[@TheBarzook]

Isn't it the one with the wooden wings? I would steer away from that.

[@n6408s]

I've heard the StationAir referred to as a lot of things. Never as a Stationary. And at a cruise speed of 160kts, fast ain't one of them. And do you realize that you were showing what appears to be a Continental 520 when you were saying "Lycoming TIO540"?

[@pitonsmmmgaming2689]

Can these planes do some 360s?

[@doch.8039]

Single piston engine? No mention of the F8F Bearcat? 😔 a shame

[@KiimiKooooo]

[@lrg3834]

You do indeed sound like an infomercial, but that's not a put-down. Perhaps you should explore a professional announcing career, or producing infomercials for others. Who knows? Might be the way to fund the plane of your dreams!

Unless a lot more people become millionaires I see the demise of general aviation as we know it. The average person is basically priced right out of it all.

[@designsbyphilip510]

Multi Millionaires...one million would vanish fast with the planes. Not to mention if you count all the training to be able to use them.

[@hankjones7829]

Thank the FFA and economic landscape.

[@designsbyphilip510]

@Mike Kabakov True the cost for training is less by far, but 20k is a huge chunk of change none the less. And like you said, that just gets you up to the PPL.

[@FamilyManMoving]

Blame the FAA for letting existing manufacturers use Part 23 as a barrier to new competition in the US. Can you believe that Europe (Europe!) has a more regulatory-friendly environment for aerospace innovation than the USA? Maybe, just maybe, the new Light Personal Aircraft regs that are overdue will help fix it, but already the old guard have slowed them by linking them with drone regs (to slow the process down, until the can pay off congress) and are watering it down to make the new LPA less performant, smaller and just below the level people want to buy. Same story as always.

[@andrewday3206]

The LX7 aka redesigned, rebuilt and re-winged Lancair IV just may be faster than the Lancair Evolution piston or turboprop. I’m infatuated with the Evolution but the LX7 seems faster

[@thezeek2745]

The redesign actually made it a tad slower than an actual IV-P. But much much safer to fly

[@andrewday3206]

@@thezeek2745 Thank You I’m amazed even with flaps for slow speed it’s a bit slower at cruise. But as I checked the stats that does seem true. Either way the LX-7 is an impressive aircraft. I appreciate the insight.

[@n6408s]

At 3:50: "Which includes the GFC7X autopilot. And it is the only experimental market plane that is granted the use of the GFC700 autopilot" That's a load of BS. E/AB aircraft can have whatever avionics and autopilot the builder wants. Nobody has to "grant" anything. And it's Lancair, not Lancer. Seriously, who writes this crap?

[@tropicthndr]

Panthera has a very weak tail, because of this it’s never exceed speed is right next it’s max cruise speed, so guess what happens when you push the nose over for decent after cruising altitude, your in deep sht if you don’t remember to get the speed brakes out.

Everyone of these has the same engine & the same Garmin suite just about all of them anyways. Do Americans realise America isn't the whole world & it's certainly not the most advanced country in the world & doesn't produce the most up to date innovation by any means whatsoever.

[@pietrooliani3251]

tbf lycoming and continental have the vast majority of the market, with the only minor competitors being austro engine (that sells only to diamond) and rotax (wich makes only low power engine) so you really don't have a choice

[@FamilyManMoving]

Europe is innovating aerospace at a faster pace than the USA. The US has a lot of regulatory barriers in place by existing manufacturers. Nobody I know claims the US is the top aerospace innovator. Not anymore. Avionics is something else. Garmin is only one of many choices - there are quite a few others. But Garmin is better than the others, and that's just the way it is. There is no defined standard in the USA requiring anyone to go Garmin. They do because it's what people want. Choice is like that - everyone wants the best. When someone does better than Garmin (and the opportunity is there), then you'll just hear complaints about that one. The US buys most of the GA planes in the world (China catching up), and that shapes the market. Diamond is distinctly European and doing fairly well in N. America, but it will never take on something like Cirrus until it designs around missions that US pilots need. Both the DA-40 and DA-42 are primarily viewed as training craft in the USA. Why? My two US homes are as far apart as London is from Belarus, and that doesn't even take me the length of the East Coast. A center stick is fun for short glides, but horrible for long cruises. So while it is technologically better, it does not fit the need for many US GA consumers. The US is a BIG place, and we tend to move around a LOT. We need comfortable, efficient transport over distance. Anything designed for Western Europe is going to be scaled wrong for North America.

[@pietrooliani3251]

@@FamilyManMoving the da 50 rg is close to what the sr 22 is, it's a bit slower but carries more weight and is a lot more efficient, da 62 is more on par with cirrus performance but it has 2 engines
