Velocity SE
No other kit aircraft offers the quality, performance, comfort and superior design of the standard Velocity. This plane's aerodynamic stability is one of its strongest assets. Featuring easy-entry dual gull-wing doors, this model accommodates 160 to 220 HP powerplants, providing a cruise of from 150 to 187 knots, depending on horsepower, propeller pitch and landing gear selected. As with the XL model, this kit is available with fixed or retract gear.
Many Velocity demo flights end with the potential builder scratching his head and asking "Why don't other aircraft fly like this?" No other kit aircraft offers the quality, performance, comfort and superior design of the standard Velocity. In its aerodynamic design, the Velocity's stability is one of its strongest assets. Everything is generating lift: the wings, canard, fuselage, winglets, wheel pants, and even the main gear. If and when influenced by outside forces such as gusts, thermals, etc., everything is affected the same way – resulting in little or no change in pitch or attitude.
