Velocity - Cooler Than You Think

What does it actually cost to buy and own a Velocity? In this short video we break down the Velocity - Cost to Own and let you know exactly what your get for your money. And how much of your money it will take.

In addition to annual costs, we cover the cost per hour and cost per mile to operate. We also cover key performance stats so you know what you're paying for.

Costs of airplane ownership vary widely from owner to owner. This video takes an average of the various expenses from existing owners and boils them down to simple to digest numbers. Your ownership experiences will be unique.

Saw the twin variant up close at EAA this year. It looked like it was decked out for comfort. Spacious, soft leather seats, and air conditioning! According to the owner, it apparently still had an impressive useful load. Traveling in that kind of speed and comfort, not to mention range, you'd never need to pay for an airline ticket again!

So glad you did the Velocity! My favorite plane. I hope to build one soon. I'm looking forward to your Velocity twin video when you get to it. Keep up the good work

was literally just starting to look at the velocity xl and then my favorite youtuber posted a video about it. my day cannot get any better

[collinduke]

I stumbled across their factory and met the employees there. Super nice people, and great family-like company.

canard guy with a varieze and defiant, guilty as charged. there is a definite community and we definitely wave at each other on the ramp
thanks for the breakdown, your videos are always super interesting and useful!

Bonus points for understanding motorcycle riders.

Im visiting the factory on Friday for a test flight before putting my deposit down in as SE RG. The new SE have the same big door as the XL. Older Velocities, you did have to slide over the wimg, but no longer. Fantastic review, not that im biased!

A plane like this makes the world a lot smaller, thanks for finaly putting out a video on Velocity

[davidgolden]

FINALLYYY thank you! Velocity aircraft are chronically underrated.

An instructor at my school died in a velocity V-twin crash... He and his copilot were both F-16 pilots... Just can't look at this plane the same way again...

[twitchy]

So glad you made this, literally my dream plane

[oceanbytez]

Absolutely. I ride a Honda Magna VF 750 and i wave at everyone i pass. Motorcyclists are a very tight knit community. We help each other out mechanically, and medically in cases of crashes and we also do our best to teach each other often free of charge.

I love the community and even after i get into flying i can promise you i'll still ride.

I was told the "Standard" is the one that you have to jump up onto the wing to get in and the SE is the one with a door. Also the original STD has less wing area and is the most efficient in terms of Miles per gallon and sporty flight. 60K stall speed.

I paused the video and looked up the twin velocity, daaaamn

[jadefalcon]

I would absolutely love to have the twin. it's amazing. unfortunately I do not have near the money for that kind of hobby. I admire that plane from the ground.

[suzukirider]

Seems like a great travel airplane - if you never plan on landing off-pavement. Even those which are smooth for most other small aircraft.

I am a fan of the velocity line of aircraft’s. Lots of good things going. But, when I wanted to buy one, the insurance premiums were not feasible. My broker tried several insurance companies but all were eye watering expensive. At the same time, none of the underwriters could give me a sensible reason. Have anyone here had better luck and if so who gave you a reasonable rate?

[SusheePerumal]

Excited to hear about your cross-country planning!

Velocity is probably the most cost efficient 4 seater there is but one of the bigger limitations (for me at least) is the higher take off and landing speeds required due to the lack of flaps.

Finally, my request has been answered! Awesome video as per usual, keep up the good work.
