GA10 Utility Single Set To Enter Service In 2013 With Multiple Roles

GippsAero (Hall 1 Stand D2) is currently flight-testing its new $1.3 million GA10 turboprop single and anticipates certification by May 2013. Because so much of the GA10 is based on the current GA8 piston-powered Airvan, the Australian company’s marketing manager Mark McNamara expects an expeditious certification program using one or two aircraft. “We’re excited to have the aircraft flying and headed toward certification,” he said.

Last summer Gipps announced that it would build a stretched turboprop version of the GA8 and that it would expand its global sales and service footprint. The 10-passenger GA10 is powered by a 715-shp Rolls-Royce M250-B17F/2 engine.
