Who says bush planes have to be slow?
The Helio Stallion is a 10-place single-engine turbo prop bush/utility aircraft. The Stallion features a 750 shaft horsepower Pratt & Whitney PT6A turbo-prop engine. The plane is designed to be fully maneuverable and controllable at 37 knots and has an estimated cruise speed of 175 knots. The turbine engine allows the aircraft to be operated in many regions around the world where only jet fuel is available or where avgas, if available, is cost prohibitive. The Helio Stallion is anticipated to have a useful load of 3,000 pounds and a range of over 1,000 nautical miles with standard fuel capacity. The Stallion is designed for takeoff and landing distances under 350 feet while carrying 1,700 pounds of payload.
