About the Velocity Aircraft Velocity Turbo

The Velocity Turbo is a four-seat composite kitplane built by Velocity Aircraft of Sebastian, Florida, distinguished by its canard configuration, pusher propeller, and retractable tricycle landing gear. First flown in the 1980s and refined through the 1990s, the Velocity family represents one of the most successful homebuilt designs in the canard category, offering speeds and efficiency that rival certified aircraft at a fraction of the cost. The Turbo variant adds a turbocharged Continental or Lycoming engine, enabling cruise speeds around 200 knots and service ceilings above 20,000 feet—performance that places it among the fastest piston singles in general aviation.

What sets the Velocity apart is its unusual aerodynamics: the canard foreplane stalls before the main wing, making the aircraft nearly impossible to spin and providing a built-in stall warning as the nose gently drops. The pusher configuration keeps the propeller behind the cabin, reducing noise and vibration while improving visibility. With a useful load exceeding 1,000 pounds and range approaching 1,400 nautical miles, the Velocity Turbo appeals to builders seeking cross-country capability without sacrificing speed. Its composite construction—primarily fiberglass and foam—keeps empty weight low while delivering a sleek, low-drag airframe.
