07.22.26: Southwest 250th Theme, 2.5 Millionth Young Eagle, Pedal Plane Parade, Pelton Int'vw Part 4 They said they were doing it... And we have seen it for ourselves... so now we’re actually forced to believe that a TURBINE-Powered Carbon Cub actually exists. Powered by a TurboTech regenerative turboprop, and based on the UL airframe, the $690K airframe definitely hits the sweet spot for the aviator that really wants to impress the girl at the airport desk. Skyfly is promoting Axe, a bird that they assert to be a revolutionary electric-hybrid vertical lift aircraft for the private pilot, training, and defense markets. Unconventional? Yes... but there is no question that a number of companies are ready to reshape the aviation world... and SkyFly may be one of them. OK... we’ve become unapologetic fans of the Hummel aircraft series... light, even ultralight, as well as affordable and easy to build, the Hummel crew is actually building one in a tent on the ultralight flight line. They are also displaying their first Multi-engie bird, the Multi-Cruiser. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
