Yes, I am really looking forward to the Panthera as well. If they can really acheive 200 knots on 10gph, even the avgas will be a huge step in mpg for high speed SEPs
One should rightly be sceptical and some will probably point to the wildly overestimated speed of the DA42 before it was released, but Pipistrel has good track record of creating some very efficient aeroplanes. Virus SW will apparently cruise at 140 knots on 75% power from a Rotax, sipping just 5gph
If their claim holds, I'll queue up
