Blue Pattern_edited.png

Cruise faster or reduce fuel flows - the choice is yours. Designed for the Cessna Caravan 208B equipped with a cargo pod, Raisbeck's EPIC Caravan drag reduction system is engineered to reduce drag in all phases of flight, resulting in lower operational costs and increased cruise speeds while adding flexibility to your operation. EPIC Caravan offers operators the choice of faster cruise speeds or reduced fuel flows and lower IT Ts. As a bonus, reduced fuel flows result in lower emissions, making operations more environmentally friendly.
