The LX7 is the foundational model of the LX series of aircraft, featuring the high-performance Continental TSIO-550-E piston engine, a pressurized cabin environment, and retractable tricycle landing gear. Built around the dynamic Lancair IVP, the LX7 was born out of a love for high cruise speeds and safe low-speed handling.
The piston-powered LX7 produces 350 Horsepower for take-off and climb, directing that power smoothly to a metal Hartzell constant speed propeller. The pressurized cabin helps reduce fatigue for both the pilot and passengers while enabling flight at higher altitudes with a greater degree of safety.
The LX7 is loaded with features that enhance safety and reduce workload and enable the pilot to make better decisions, including:
Dual-redundant main spar structures in the wing.
Whole aircraft parachute system.
Standard airframe de-icing equipment.
An envelope-protecting autopilot with an upset recovery function.
Large displays for situational awareness.
Each of the four seats is appointed with heaters for the bases and the backs to provide additional comfort for everyone. The large windows accommodate a great view from the pressurized capsule that is capable of transcontinental flights, so you can see the sights from San Francisco to Washington D.C.
