E 55 Outback Overview

New generation twin turboprop aircraft with high productivity, outstanding operation
versatility, low operation costs and ready to replace any utility piston aircraft. The
EV-55 Outback is bringing more reliable and powerful solution to single engine utility
turboprop aircraft.

High productivity & versatility, low operation costs and

twin engine reliability
The EV-55 Outback has been designed for utility aircraft operators which are looking for:

 Modern aerodynamic design reflecting the latest trends in General Aviation

 Robust all metal airframe with composite materials used in non-structural parts of
construction
 Twin turboprop engine reliability and safety
 High speed for high operation productivity
 Spacious cabin for maximum comfort of passengers with fast change of
configuration from 9 pax interior to combi or cargo version

airfields and also at hot & high conditions

See EV-55 Outback website for airplane information.

 A new generation twin turboprop aircraft, the EV-55
Outback is finally arriving soon, offering a reliable and
high-performance alternative for single-engine
turboprop aircraft and obsolete twin-engine piston
aircraft. High productivity, operational reliability, easy
and inexpensive maintenance – all this is offered by
the EV-55 Outback to the operators worldwide.

Versatile Aircraft
The spacious cabin of the airplane offers its passengers a
comfortable flight. Alternatively, the aircraft can be loaded
with cargo. Convenient loading is ensured by the wide
door in the rear part of the fuselage.
Reliability and Safety
Two turboprop engines PT6A-21 together with the robust
airframe from Al-alloys ensure an unprecedented level of
reliability and safety.

High Productivity
High speed along with the spacious cabin ensures
significantly higher productivity than in piston engine
airplanes.

All-weather Operation
The EV-55 Outback is not limited by high or low air
temperatures or by airport altitude. The robust landing
gears of the airplane enable take-off from unpaved or
even sodden runways. The reliable de-icing system
ensures flight safety even in icing conditions.

Inexpensive Maintenance
Airframe repairs are quick and simple thanks to the metal
structure. All key components of the airplane are easily
accessible due to large assembly holes. All is located
together and in a well arranged manner either in the
fuselage nose or in the landing gear nacelles.

Integrated Avionics
An integrated avionics system provides simple navigation,
situational awareness and at the same time it provides the
crew information on the other aircraft systems – all this is
displayed on an LCD display with high resolution.
 Aircraft Versions

 Other versions
High level of comfort
The interior of passenger version of the airplane provides
high level of comfort for 9 passengers – thanks to a long
spacing between seats (32.7 in / 84 cm) there is a
sufficient room for legs.

The fully occupied airplane with 9 passengers and

baggage has a flight range of 800 nm / 1 480 km.

There is a version for 14 passengers – it is available only

in the countries where the local regulations for air
transport allow it.

Airframe Design and Development

The development of airframes is a complex activity

requiring many years of experience along with an
innovative approach. Evektor's services include the entire
airframe development, including its optimization,
development of metal structures and composite parts such
as doors, fairings, engine or landing gear nacelles.
Airframe development can be followed by design of
manufacturing and mounting jigs or interior design,
including design of interior panels and interior equipment.
Development of Aircraft Systems

The development of aircraft systems and other equipment

is closely connected with the development of airframes.
Development is carried out in accordance with
construction and operation aircraft regulations. Our
specialization is above all the development of airplane
control, fuel systems, hydraulic systems, landing gear
installations, etc. Development is carried out in a 3D
environment, including investigation and elimination of
eventual collisions. Production of prototype parts by the
rapid prototyping method may also be included in the
development process.
 Avionics Installation and Design of Electrical Systems

Thanks to our engineers´ experience and abilities, Evektor

is able – as one of few in the Czech Republic – to offer
qualified installation of avionics and development of
aircraft electrical systems. The whole development
process runs in a PTC Creo environment with the use of
modules pro/CABLING, pro/DIAGRAM and pro/HARNESS
or in Catia V5 environment with CABI superstructure.
Evektor's activites include:

 Design of electrical system architecture

 Design of electrical cable harnesses, including drawing
documentation
 Installation of avionics according to customer
requirements and aircraft regulations, including the design
of wiring diagrams and cable harnesses
 Elaboration of the documentation necessary for
certification tests of avionics
 Consultations and analysis in the area of electromagnetic
compatibility and protection from the secondary effects of
lightning
 Design concepts of industrial machines and

equipment – machining centers, garden

mechanization, appliances for households, means of
transport, etc.

 Complete design studies of interiors and exteriors of

cars, aircrafts, buses and personal coaches, including
3D-model processing and vizualization.


 Design and ergonomic studies of dashboards, seats

and control elements, including computer simulations
and visualizations.

 Optimization of car interiors from the ergonomics and

used materials point of view.
