Velocity XL specifications and engine-performance table ↗
Source notes & conditions
  • Four engine columns are retained separately. The configuration table takes priority over the page headline claims of up to 3,200 lb, up to five occupants, and 70 gallons.
  • Cruise is at 75% power; range is at 65% power. The source says fixed gear decreases quoted cruise by 5-7%. These figures are not assigned to a fixed-gear configuration.
  • Dash-5 equipment requires a 300 hp or greater engine, adds 200 lb to empty weight and provides room for five people. The listed four-seat baseline columns are not silently changed to Dash-5 weights.
  • The table lists optional 92 gallons; nearby prose mentions 93 gallons. The structured optional-capacity value follows the specification table.
  • Takeoff distance obstacle basis and range reserve basis are not stated. The turbo cruise is published as 250+ ktas, preserved with a lower-bound qualifier.
