N11EL

N11EL is a Velocity Aircraft Velocity, a single-engine piston aircraft operated by SHCHELOKOV ILYA SERGEYEVICH. SkyMeter has tracked 44 flights totalling 35 hours of airtime via ADS-B. The most frequent segment is K88R to KT74. Service window in our records spans 376 days. Of those flights, 6 (13.6%) carry at least one detected incident: a go-around, unstable approach, stall warning, or runway excursion. The Velocity Aircraft Velocity has a maximum takeoff weight of 2,900 lb, light wake category.

About the Velocity Aircraft Velocity

The Velocity is an American homebuilt aircraft distinguished by its canard configuration and pusher propeller, designed by Danny Maher in the 1980s and sold as a kit by Velocity Aircraft in Sebastian, Florida. Unlike conventional aircraft, the Velocity places a small forward wing ahead of the main wing, with the engine mounted behind the cabin pushing rather than pulling the aircraft through the air. This layout delivers exceptional visibility, efficient cruise performance, and docile stall characteristics, as the forward canard stalls before the main wing, automatically limiting the aircraft's angle of attack.

The design has evolved through several variants including the single-engine Velocity SE, the twin-engine Twin, and the turbocharged XL models, with builders typically installing Continental or Lycoming engines ranging from 200 to 310 horsepower. Most Velocity aircraft cruise between 160 and 200 knots, making them among the faster homebuilts in their class, with some turbocharged examples exceeding 220 knots in level flight. The composite construction keeps empty weight low while providing a roomy four-seat cabin with side-by-side seating in front and a bench seat behind, though the pusher configuration means engine noise is notably reduced in the cockpit.

The retractable landing gear and sleek fuselage contribute to the type's efficiency, with builders reporting fuel burns around 10 to 14 gallons per hour depending on engine choice and power settings. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
