Plain and simple, the Bigfoot Turbo performance is second to none.
The Bigfoot Turbo utilizes the Lycoming TIO-540-AH1A engine which produces 320hp up to 5,000 feet. It is one of the most powerful six cylinder turbo-charged engines that Lycoming currently produces. Based on its legendary IO-540 block, the Lycoming TIO-540-AH1A is built to perform for high altitude/high temperture "hot and high" operations.
Coupled with dual exhausts and an 82 inch, three blade Hartzell prop, the Bigfoot Turbo is one of the most powerful pistons on the planet! Its low stall speed, large fowler flaps and impressive rate of climb, even at gross weight, enables this aircraft to be a genuine STOL aircraft. Its cruise speed of over 170 knots combined with its impressive range makes the Bigfoot Turbo a true cross-country aircraft.
