Here is a once in a lifetime opportunity to not only own but be part of aviation history! The Turbine Toucan was designed from a clean sheet of paper to be the highest performance biplane in history with the highest thrust to weight ratio of any civilian aircraft, ever. With 1.5:1 thrust to weight ratio, and its ability to accelerate vertically, it is a paradigm shift in the way aerobatics can be flown.

The design mission of the aircraft was to create a new experience for airshow attendees by demonstrating never before witnessed maneuvers. And it does just that.

The aircraft was built by an elite group of aviation’s finest. Over 7700 hours went into building this one-off rocket ship. Just about every component on the aircraft was painstakingly fabricated to create this aviation masterpiece.

Not only does this aircraft come with an unrivaled pedigree, it also enjoys an immortal part of the Disney Animated Classic “Planes”. The Turbine Toucan provided “Dusty”, the lead character in the movie all his aircraft sounds. Starts, spool ups, taxing and high speed passes were performed for Disney’s sound department in the production of an aviation classic. And for the aircrafts participation, a screen credit! No credit to the builders or the owner but to the aircraft. So you can enjoy its history too.

We could go on and on about this aircraft and anyone that has ever seen the plane will tell you that pictures do not do this incredible aircraft justice. Between now and time of auction the aircraft will be on display at the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos, Ca.
