PlaneFox tracks 2 Epic E1000 aircraft for sale and re-reads every one of them from the broker and dealer sites it watches, so the figures below move when the market moves. Every number on this page is measured from those live listings, not taken from a published price guide.
The Epic E1000 is a certified, six seat, single engine turboprop built by Epic Aircraft in Bend, Oregon. It evolved from the experimental Epic LT, but the E1000 is the FAA type certificated production model, not a kit aircraft. The prototype first flew in 2015, FAA certification was achieved in 2019, and customer deliveries began shortly afterward. Its role is a high performance owner flown or business turboprop, combining a carbon fiber airframe, pressurization and turbine reliability in a cabin class layout. For used aircraft buyers, it matters because it offers very high cruise performance in a relatively small, modern fleet.
Power comes from a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67A turboprop rated at 1,200 shp, driving a five blade Hartzell composite propeller. Published performance includes a maximum cruise speed of about 333 knots, a maximum range of about 1,560 nautical miles and a certified ceiling of 34,000 feet. Useful load is typically listed around 2,800 lb, depending on equipment and empty weight. The aircraft is designed for fast regional and transcontinental stage lengths, with turbine climb performance and pressurized high altitude operation.
The E1000 normally seats up to six occupants, with two cockpit seats and four club style cabin seats. The cabin is pressurized and finished to a business aircraft standard, with baggage capacity suitable for personal and corporate missions, although exact usable baggage varies by loading and interior configuration. The flight deck is based on Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, with large glass displays, integrated navigation, weather and engine monitoring. Later E1000 GX aircraft brought further avionics refinement, including Garmin GFC 700 autopilot integration and related flight deck updates.
Used E1000 availability is limited because production numbers are relatively small and the fleet is young. Buyers should verify the exact model, E1000 or E1000 GX, serial number, avionics software status, service bulletin compliance, engine and propeller times, maintenance history and any factory supported upgrades. The E1000 typically sits in the used market against fast single engine turboprops such as Daher TBM models and Piper M class turboprops, with the Epic distinguished by its carbon fiber structure, PT6A-67A power and high cruise speed. Values are influenced strongly by total time, warranty status, avionics standard and whether the aircraft has remained in factory supported configuration.
