Velocity Twin

[@asommer518]

Burt Rattan DID NOT DESIGN the Velocity. It was Dan Mayer who sold the company to the Swings.

[@MikeKobb]

If somebody wanted to market a Rutan-designed twin, I wish it would be the Boomerang...

[@glennr9913]

What performance advantages does the twin have over the single? How much faster is it, and are the payload and range any higher?

[@cloudstreets1396]

Faster. Safer.

[@peterxyz3541]

How far back is the CG?

[@bartofilms]

Would love to know how the VT is doing in 2020. How many out there? Anyone looking at TDi engines and/or pressurization retrofits?

[@anewrnn]

They are up and running. Under development is a 5-6 seater...turbine twin !!!! Can't wait to see it

[@TRR56]

Holy Uhhhh batman! Cool bird though

[@estebanarchie3292]

i realize I am kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to watch new series online ?

[@brendanalberto8196]

@Esteban Archie Flixportal =)

[@estebanarchie3292]

@Brendan Alberto thanks, I went there and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it !

[@brendanalberto8196]

@Esteban Archie Happy to help :)

[@robertphillips3078]

Burt Rutan, didnt design this aircraft. Although it was modeled off that Aircraft by an owner the " Rutan Easy." Then the current owners purchased the company & have done a Marvelous Job. Real Sweet 👀👀 Aircraft. 👍👌👏

[@laughingdaffodils5450]

Falsehood right up front sure didn't inspire confidence in the video. It was the 'long eze' variant that the velocity was based in, iirc.

[@JustaPilot1]

Burt Rutan didn't design the Velocity.

[@seikibrian8641]

Just a Pilot Technically correct, but Danny Maher based the Velocity on Rutan's Long-EZ design.

[@JustaPilot1]

***** I mean this in good will and humor....DDDaaaaaaahhhhh!.Yup I read interviews with Danny after he started marketing the Velocity. He made no bones about it Rutan directly inspired the Velocity. He wanted 4 seats.

[@josephcarter3759]

I want to buy one.

[@heavi-armed-infadel]

I thought it was called the Long EZ?

[@cloudstreets1396]

It is

[@GlideYNRG]

Beech Starships love child.

[@velocity7180c]

Danny Maher designed the Velocity...Not Burt Rutan

[@ProfessorTapia]

Does anyone know how well these recover from spins and stalls?

[@bruhsoundeffect2343]

ETapia hey, we actually can’t even get into a stall, let alone a spin. The canard keeps it from happening. It stalls before the main wing so the nose simply porpoises and you can hold full back on the sick and it’ll just “pitch buck” 👍

[@Hyperious_in_the_air]

you guys should look at the possibility of making a canard amphibian

[@cloudstreets1396]

Spins are unrecoverable and require a ballistic parachute

[@ecerejo]

600 lbs payload! Not enough for 4 or 5 seater!

[@mjhornidge]

Uhh.. uhh uh uhhm haha he probably didn't even want to be interviewed. I love the plane though.

[@Justwantahover]

Looks better than the single and this one has RETRACTABLE REAR WHEELS. They can't on the single cos the engine is in the way (just guessing).

[@blusheep2]

Not true. The XL Velocity has a retract option as well. This isn't a long Easy. :P

[@johnthompson6550]

Show us flying video,,,,,,,,,,,, send that guy to greet at Walmart.

[@jetguy1205]

That guys speech is so irritating all of the uhhs and umms

[@JT-cf7dq]

American...…..Ahhhh, UMMM DUMMM

[@jdizzy2012]

especially for a salesman, can be problematic

[@liefbrunhilda926]

Way toooooo many “uhhhhhhhhhhhhs” Christ

[@danielepelaia7875]

a push propeller airplane with the engine mounted on the rear just like piaggio aero avanti,makes me wonder if the idea of a pusher prop airplane was stolen from piaggio aero avanti.

[@Condor1970]

+Daniele Pelaia No. Burt Rutan came up with these concepts in the EZ aircraft decades ago, long before Avanti built their first twin pusher.Then Beechcraft took his idea to the next level with the Raytheon Starship that flew before the Avanti, but never caught on as a business airplane, so they scrapped them. Only one Starship remains, and it is owned and flown by Burt Rutan. Both the Starship, and the Avanti were built off Rutan's pusher prop theories of rear wing easy stall recovery. There were other rear wing pusher type aircraft before Rutans EZ's, but most of them were just prototypes.

[@danielepelaia7875]

+Jonathan Wong sorry mate my bad

[@UncleKennysPlace]

In case anyone reads this, there are FIVE Starships (Beech model 2000) on the US registry. Raytheon bought most of them back so they wouldn't have to support them; they were overweight and slow compared to the original specs. Burt Rutan owns ZERO of the five.

[@RippedWookie]

Uhh um uhhhh umm uhh uuuuhhhhh.
