The TurboTech TP-R90 regenerative turbine engine has been fitted to CubCrafters' backcountry airframe, producing the first Sport Pilot‑eligible turboprop.
The first in the Falcon series, the lightweight Kestrel propeller has ASTM approval, with FAA certification anticipated for later this year.
In addition to 1,000 new production aircraft, the company has delivered hundreds of backcountry aircraft kits and innumerable major rebuilds and upgrades to the classic Piper Super Cub during its 43-year history.
