The '''Lancair Propjet''' is a four-seat, pressurized, composite aircraft powered by a 750-hp Walter M601E turboprop engine. The aircraft is based on Lancair's successful kit-plane, the Lancair IV. Like its piston-powered predecessor, the Propjet is noted for its performance, with a typical cruise speed of 325 knots at 24,000 feet and a climb performance of 4,000 feet per minute.
Production of the aircraft kit was ended in 2012.<ref name="Production">{{cite web|url = http://lancair.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=145&Itemid=140|title = Our Aircraft|accessdate = 15 November 2012|last = Lancair|author-link = Lancair|year = 2012|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20121130001406/http://lancair.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=145&Itemid=140|archivedate = 30 November 2012}}</ref>
