100 and counting…

The Epic E1000 AX.

Epic Aircraft reports the delivery of its 100th certified aircraft.

The milestone coincides with the company’s 11th Annual Odyssey Fly-In, a gathering of Epic Aircraft owners, pilots, and partners in Bend, Oregon.

“Achieving this delivery milestone underscores the strength of demand for our aircraft,” said Epic Aircraft CEO Doug King. “We reached our 100th certified aircraft faster than anyone imagined.”

The company delivered its first certified airplane, the E1000, in 2020. In just five years, the company has introduced and certified two next-generation models, the E1000 GX and the E1000 AX. Collectively, the fleet has accrued more than 41,000 flight hours, according to company officials.

The 100th airplane, an E1000 AX, features a special commemorative logo on its exterior as well as its interior seats. The aircraft will be based in Texas.

Epic Aircraft debuted its first experimental aircraft, the Epic LT, in 2004. Its all-composite, single-engine turboprop E1000 received FAA certification in 2019, followed by certification of the E1000 GX in 2021 and the E1000 AX in 2025.
