A1V8A2

Maybe someone can explain this to me. I'm looking at the Velocity website and under the performance chart it says that Vne for the TXL is 200kias but its cruise speed is 250ktas. How can it cruise faster than it's designed to fly? I'm guessing this would make sense if I were actually a pilot.

Haha, yes I am new. It's a nice looking design, is it no good?

How about this thing? http://www.InfinityAerospace.com/inf1kit.htm Looks pretty cool.

Wow, thanks a lot. Obviously the J85 is totally impractical for use in a Cozy or related craft. I just really think it would be great to see a relatively affordable, high speed, and aerobatic carnard homebuilt. My actual turbine experience is zero, I've just been a fan of the ViperJet for a long while. Ultimately, I'd like to work on a canard design with similar proportions and performance as the ViperJet. I'm just doing some homework now. Thanks for the help.

Hello all, first post here. I'm new to the homebuilding thing so bare with me. Piston engines are obviously really easy to acquire, but how do you get your hands on jet engine? I have not seen any way to purchase online. I know EZ Jet does conversions, but I'm looking for a little more power, like a J85 maybe. Anyway, any help or insight would be appreciated.
