Epic Aircraft announced FAA type certification for its latest turboprop single, the E1000 AX, with customer deliveries set to begin this week from the company’s headquarters in Bend, Oregon. The E1000 AX made its public debut in April at the 2025 Sun ’n Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida, and now becomes the third FAA-certified aircraft in Epic’s lineup, following the E1000 in 2019 and E1000 GX in 2021.

“Aircraft deliveries will begin this week at factory headquarters,” said Epic CEO Doug King. “We just completed a record-breaking sales quarter, and July is already the best sales month in company history. All 2025 E1000 AX production positions are filled, and sales are brisk for 2026 deliveries.”
