The Akrothech Giles G-750 "ORACLE Turbo Raven" was originally designed from a Giles G-202 with the front seat removed for the installation of a turbo-prop engine....!!


An aerobatic airplane with a positive thrust to weight ratio is a dream
come true for airshow performer Wayne Handley. He turned a dream
into a goal and succeeded in producing a show plane like no other.
With a 750 HP turboprop engine, producing 2,400 pounds of thrust,
the Oracle Turbo Raven can go straight up, stop, and go straight up
again.

This new airplane is truly state of the art. Its airframe construction is entirely of composite material. Every effort was made to build the
Oracle Turbo Raven as strong and light as possible. Each construction
decision was predicated on performance, hence only one seat.

The engine is a Pratt & WhitneyPT6A-25C, which is used in some military training aircraft that require the use of an inverted oil system. Unofficially, the Oracle Turbo Raven has gone from brake release to 3,000 meters (9,842.5feet) faster than any other propeller driven airplane in history.

The Turbo Raven has a sustained rate of climb of slightly more than 7,000 feet per minute, a roll rate of 450 degrees per second, and a top speed of 260 knots (300MPH) at sea level. The airplane is IFR certified, has engine bleed air heat to the cockpit
and oxygen, so traveling to shows will now be accomplished in the flight levels above 18,000 feet. Going coast to coast in one day is now possible. The pilot's ability to select reverse propeller pitch in flight is another unique feature of the Turbo Raven. Reversing pitch turns the propeller into a big speed brake, enabling the pilot to make extremely steep approaches. Of course, this feature also allows the pilot to back into or out of his parking spot. Wayne flew the Oracle Turbo Raven in four shows at the end of the 1998 season and will spend the winter developing new maneuvers and choreographing next years routine. Learning to fly the figures with extremely reduced power settings has been the largest challenge to date.

----THANK YOU----
I would like to thank Mikko Maliniemi for sending me his AFX files for a G-202 from which I modified to get the G-750 THANKS MIKKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
