Will Offer Customized, High Performance SR22s At 'Affordable
Prices'
Next Dimension Aircraft is readying an 'innovative and
industry-first personalized pre-owned aircraft program designed to
provide fully-customized Cirrus SR22 aircraft with a
high-performance Tornado Alley Turbo powerplant and Avidyne Entegra
Release 9 avionics suite.'
ND President, Scott Crenshaw explains that, "We recognize a
niche that exists for customers that want a safe, warranty-backed
high-performance aircraft, but don't want to bear the costs of a
new plane; nor be forced to deal with the large loss in value
generally associated with a new aircraft purchase."
"ND provides the experience of purchasing a new,
custom-configured aircraft, without the large costs and risks of a
new purchase." said Ken Johnson, CFO of ND Aircraft. "We want to
help pilots fly the aircraft of their dreams, in a new, more
financially sensible way."
ND offers many unique and customer-focused ways for clients to
secure the aircraft of their dreams including custom configuring an
aircraft online at ndaircraft.com, selecting from an existing stock
of upgraded aircraft, or simply having their own aircraft converted
in accordance with the program. No matter the upgrade choice, each
aircraft will come equipped with GAMISPEC IO-550N Engine with the
TAT TN System delivering efficient cruise speeds in excess of 200
KTAS.
"We are very excited to be involved in this great opportunity
with ND Aircraft" said Tim Roehl, President of Tornado Alley Turbo,
Inc. "We have several exciting new product improvements coming out
that will significantly enhance the performance of our TN system,
and this is a great way to make them available to the Cirrus owner
community in such a unique way."
"Worpe9 is a really terrific upgrade program and Avidyne is
delighted with the opportunity to provide our next-generation
Entegra Release 9 platform on what may be the best-performing
single-engine piston aircraft on the planet when you consider its
amazing speed and climb performance versus its conservative fuel
consumption," said Dan Schwinn, Avidyne President and CEO.
The premium configuration offered by ND is named the "Worpe9"
denoting the "World Peace" feature of the TAT powerplant and the R9
Avidyne avionics panel. The "Worpe 9" package includes: new
GAMISPEC IO-550N Engine, TAT TN System newly configured for
Electronic Engine Controls including Electronically Controlled
Wastegate for Turbo Density Normalization (TDN), aka "Density
Controller" and Automatic Mixture Control (GAMI's Mixture Magic),
and Avidyne's R9 Avionics Package.
The result is a higher performance powerplant and a more capable
avionics package than is available at the factory for hundreds of
thousands of dollars less. Some details of the new TAT powerplant
will not be released until spring of 2010 due to proprietary
considerations. Aircraft modified in advance of the new features
will be upgraded at no cost to the owner.
