Background

The Turbine Glasair project originally started out to be a piston powered tail-dragger, but opportunity presented a suitable turbine engine and the project made an abrupt right turn.

The Build

The engine is a Rolls Royce 250-C20 producing 420 hp. Originally set up to be used in a helicopter, we inverted the engine and converted it to the turboprop configuration. The project progressed at a slow, but steady pace as parts and equipment were located. In the end the plane became one of the most enjoyable aircraft to fly of any of the aircraft Innovative Wings Inc. has built to date.
