Epic Caravan Package

Cruise faster or reduce fuel flows – the choice is yours. Designed for the Cessna Caravan 208B equipped with a cargo pod, Raisbeck’s EPIC Caravan drag reduction system is engineered to reduce drag in all phases of flight, resulting in lower operational costs and increased cruise speeds while adding flexibility to your operation. EPIC Caravan offers operators the choice of faster cruise speeds or reduced fuel flows and lower ITTs. As a bonus, reduced fuel flows result in lower emissions, making operations more environmentally friendly.

A Report from the Field: Tom Dafoe, former Sales Director for jetAVIVA and Cessna Caravan aficionado, flew Raisbeck’s EPIC Caravan System and provided an analysis of its benefits in his video blog. View it here.

  • At fixed power setting/fuel flow, EPIC Caravan adds 4-5 ktas of airspeed
  • At fixed airspeed of 175 ktas, EPIC Caravan reduces fuel flow by ~2.6 gal/hr
  • At a typical175 ktas fixed airspeed, EPIC Caravan results in ~15ºC reduction in ITT due to reduction in drag and associated power required for level flight

FORWARD CARGO POD FAIRING

  • Reduced drag results in increased climb and cruise performance
  • With Raisbeck’s design, the need for a cargo pod de-icing boot is eliminated,
    resulting in lower maintenance costs and less downtime with no impact
    on the aircraft’s FIKI authorization
  • The forward fairing’s streamlined design eliminates the trapping of airflow
    behind the nose gear and in front of the leading edge of the cargo pod

DUAL AFT BODY STRAKES

  • Decreased drag results in increased climb and cruise performance
  • Pilot control and handling qualities are enhanced
  • Equivalent vertical tail area is increased, smoothing the airflow from the
    cargo pod and forward fuselage, thereby improving directional stability
    and ride comfort
  • Improved appearance with the “look” of modern technology seen on
    many business aircraft

Lynn Thomas portrait

REMEMBERING LYNN THOMAS

We are all saddened by the passing of our leader and friend, Lynn Thomas, who recently lost his battle with cancer.

A life-long aviation enthusiast, Lynn pursued his passion for aviation both professionally and personally, making his first solo flight at the age of 16. Over the years, he continued to fly as often as possible, both for business and pleasure

Lynn joined Raisbeck Engineering in 2017, bringing his unique talent to the company where his drive and leadership contributed greatly to Raisbeck’s continued success. His experience and achievements in the general aviation industry included sales, business management and marketing with both aviation manufacturers and dealers. Lynn started his career working with major investment firms, including Everen Securities and Paine Weber.

Lynn took an active interest in all facets of the companies he represented. He was often spotted on the shop floor at Quest Aircraft or roaming the halls and main lobby at Banyan. Here at Raisbeck, Lynn always took the opportunity to spend time with the Raisbeck team to support their efforts.

In addition to Lynn’s passion for aviation, he was an avid outdoorsman.  Whether fly fishing or paddling his hand-built canoe, he loved taking in the beauty found in nature.

He leaves us with a sense of great loss.  Lynn has left an indelible mark on all of our lives and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
