The GippsAero GA10 Airvan is a ten-seat, single-engine turboprop utility aircraft developed by GippsAero of Victoria, Australia, from its piston-engined eight-seat GA8 Airvan. The design was stretched and re-engined with a turboprop to give more seats and payload, it keeps the aerodynamic design of the GA8 and as many current production parts as possible, and it burns Jet A or Jet A-1, which was meant to appeal to general aviation operators in remote areas where many piston GA8 aircraft work. Its first flight, lasting twenty minutes, took place in May 2012, and the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority certificated it on 19 May 2017, as did the American Federal Aviation Administration. Published specifications show a single Rolls-Royce 250-B17F/2 turboprop of 336 kW (451 hp), a maximum takeoff mass of 2,155 kg, a cruise speed of 269 km/h and an endurance of five hours. A prototype crashed in the Mojave Desert during flight testing in June 2018, and both pilots parachuted to safety. Production of the GA10 and the GA8 stopped in November 2020, when the then owner Mahindra decided to produce only parts.
