Epic Victory Personal Jet The Epic Victory aircraft was a single engine, VLJ (Very Light Jet) with a proposed Pratt & Whitney PW600 powerplant. Developed by Epic Aircraft, based in Bend, Oregon, this was Epic's 2nd experimental jet.
The Epic Victory seated up to 5 people, including the pilots, in a 2+2 or a 2+1+2 lay-out. To their credit, the first aircraft took Epic only 6 months from design concept to flying prototype. The first flight was in July of 2007 from Roberts Field in Redmond, Oregon.
The company has intentions of bringing a personal jet to market for under $1 million dollars. The first public debut of the jet was at the Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture fly-in at Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 2007. Epic began taking down payments for the jet at this time.
Unfortunately, Epic Aircraft entered bankruptcy in 2009 and their assets were acquired through bankruptcy by Aviation Industry Corporation of China and LT Builders Group who are in the process of restarting production of the Victory as of July 2010.
