2.4/5 (14)


The Impulse 100 Pocket Rocket is a 2-seat, single-engine experimental light sport aircraft developed by Impulse Aircraft of Germany. The Pocket Rocket is a variation of the standard Impulse 100 that is fitted with a turboprop engine. The unique design of the Impulse 100 makes it both stable at slow speeds and a precision performer at high speeds.

The Impulse 100 Pocket Rocket features a low-wing design, carbon-honeycomb sandwich construction throughout, a standard empennage, and a fixed traditional undercarriage. It has side-by-side seating in its cockpit and a high-visibility bubble canopy. The Pocket Rocket variant of the standard Impulse 100 design has a reinforced airframe to accommodate the additional torque and stresses that the upgraded engine imparts on the aircraft.

The Impulse 100 Pocket Rocket measures 27.6 feet in length, stands 7.6 feet tall, and has a wingspan of 32.3 feet. The aircraft is powered by an Allison 250-C20R turboprop engine that produces up to 456 horsepower and turns a 5-blade, constant-speed, composite propeller. It has a maximum cruise speed of 311 miles per hour, a service ceiling of 25,000 feet above sea level, and a maximum climb rate of 6,200 feet per minute.
