A turbocharged 350-hp Fadec-equipped Continental engine is mounted at the rear of Valkyrie’s fuselage. Loury categorizes the airplane as a four-plus-one as the rear middle seat is designed for a small person or child. Loury expects the full fuel payload to come out around 1,200 lbs.

instrument panel serviceability looks great, but I'd think twice about opening that canopy on a gusty day

That was patently absurd from the start. An unpressurized piston single for $700k is quite believable.
