The 2025 Pipistrel Panthera is a brand-new experimental/homebuilt aircraft offering cutting-edge performance and modern avionics in a sleek, efficient design. Powered by a 260 hp Lycoming IO-540V-V4A5 engine, this four-seat aircraft delivers impressive cruise speeds of 198 KTAS at 71% power (15.8 gal/hr) and a maximum range of 1,000 nm with reserves. Its advanced aerodynamics contribute to short takeoff performance (657 m over 50 ft obstacle) and a high climb rate of 1,260 ft/min, while the airframe parachute rescue system enhances safety.

The Panthera features a well-equipped Garmin glass cockpit with dual 10-inch G3X displays, GTN 750Xi/650Xi touchscreen GPS/NAV/COM units, and ADS-B In/Out capability via a GTX 345R transponder. The ergonomic cabin includes gull-wing doors for easy access, high-quality leather finishes, and LED lighting throughout. With a useful load of 1,093 lbs and a luxurious, pilot-focused layout—including a center stick for precise control—this aircraft is designed for both performance and comfort. As a made-to-order model from Pipistrel’s Canadian distributor, it arrives tariff-free and ready for IFR operations.
