What else will do this?
What would do this with lowest op cost?
What would do this with the lowest cost including cost of capital?
I'd like the cabin < 8Kft. So non pressurized is ok as long as it does 200+Knots at < 8Kft.
Experiments with decent safety record are ok...
Lancair ESP is ok, but cap cost is hi.
Lancair IV all flavors scares me... Cessna P210N with a Vitatoe TN550. 200 KTAS at 17.5k’ 800NM including climb/decent ~76 Gal, 89 usable in wings. 90 gal (wings full) gives you 710 lbs of useable load Below FL180, the cabin altitude is <8k’ Higher goes faster Aux tank to go farther/more reserve I put a few gallons in the baggage tank when traveling that far.

At 17.5? Yes, on 17.5 gph. Assuming it’s the TN550 setup 215 KTAS at FL230, 1000fpm, no cooling issues.

Surely most MEAs from the West Coast are considerably greater than 8K ft?
