Lancair 320 Is More Fuel Efficient Than Your Car

JOIN mojogrip.net/mvp
The Lancair legacy is a well known model aircraft in general aviation. The 320 came after with a Lycoming IO 320 engine, hence the model name. You get about 160 HP that will thrust you into high performance territory.
Lancair’s are known for speed and may be nothing else. This is an aircraft you fly if you have somewhere to be fast.
The cruise speed on the Lancair 320 is 224 mph and you’re burning roughly 8-9 gallons of fuel per hour. That’s equivalent to 25 - 28 miles per gallon.
I personally will not encourage any new or low time pilot to get into a Lancair. These aircraft need a little more attention and they are less forgiving. Best to build your way up and get as much experience flying first, then you can step into this speed machine.

I've been flying since I was 14 years old. Got my solo license back in 1970 at the ripe old age of 15. I love your show - watch it religiously - and like you, I too love low winged planes...they initially reminded me of one of my favorite shows as a kid "Sky King". I loved watching that show each week! Keep up the terrific work!

A beautiful plane. I used to build these in Australia in the late eighties. We would fly up and down the east coast at 10,000 ft on autopilot - such a thril! Fast and nimble. We also built the earlier 235 model - but unfortunately this crashed at an airshow due to a high speed stall.

I have about 35 hours in the Lancair 320. (I was a Glasair factory pilot, and now own a Cessna 150 taildragger). When lightly loaded, at 8500 feet, leaned out, and throttled back to 55% power, I can get about 34 MPG in the Lancair. However, I am averaging 83 MPG in my 2021 Toyota Prius. That being said, airplanes are a lot more fun.....

Great video Dude. I own a 360 they are a fantastic machines. They do kill a lot of pilots in the first 100 hours if you survive that the accident rate falls to the regular GA rate. These things fly like sailplanes small control movements and they build up speed very quickly kind of like the difference between a motor bike and a car. Blasting past all the tin planes with over 70kts difference (same fuel burn) makes me smile.

Interesting question. 7' at 195 mph based on prop speed of 2400 rpm? Does that seem right?

Mike claimed 224mph, gonna assume thats at 2400rpm. So 2400*60 revolutions per hour (2400*60)/224 revolutions per mile ((2400*60)/224)/5280 revolutions per foot 1/rpf should give feet per revolution I would think, but I don’t have a calculator with me to test that and see if it makes sense

Yup, these are awesome as long as the engine runs. They have the glide slope of "falling man" if the engine fails. You can tell when a novice is trying to fly one, their approach to land speed is between Mach .25 and .5.

@daszieher 4 года назад

Not really. Contrary to popular belief, the slippery airframe and efficient wing actually makes them good "gliders" reaching ratios into the high teens (as in 17, 18:1). It's just going to happen at a fairly high speed. The dead stick glide is not the real problem. It's the off-field landing at high (forward) speed that will get you :)

@touristguy87 4 года назад

@@daszieher...you're kinda missing the point dude

@daszieher 4 года назад

@@touristguy87 not really. the comment feeds the erroneous notion, that such an aeroplane falls out of the sky uncontrollably, once the engine quits. the "glide slope of 'falling man' " implies a near vertical descent and impact. both of which is not true. a fast aircraft can be ditched or belly-landed, if one is careful. certainly not a beginner's aircraft, but not impossible, as stated. the glide slope bit is certainly false. maybe I wasn't clear enough in my post.

915 is way overpriced but if this plane goes fast with about that amount of power, it could have a newer more fuel efficient engine like 915 and be even better. Or sleaker tandem seating. The VL3 915 version claims 380km/h cruise at altitude and that's side by side. I think a sleek tandem with a 915 could do 500... get that 915 below 10k, completed certified plane less than 100k, you have real progress. Pressurized too. Should be quite doable in a single piece fiber composite construction.

@flexairz 4 года назад

Bodyframe => fuselage. C'mon Mike, you are a pilot and building an aircraft. You should know the names of aircraft parts. 2020 minus 1999 = 21 years old. At least 10 is correct but still way off. 224 mph (not an aviation speed), Mike: at what altitude? Is it TAS, GS or IAS. You as a pilot certainly knows the difference. Help us with this.
