KING OF THE BUSINESS TURBOPROPS
Introduced in 1964, the Beechcraft King Air is the world's most popular turboprop business aircraft. Offering full cabin pressurization, air conditioning, soundproofing, and two Pratt & Whitney PT6 turboprop engines, the King Air combines longer range and higher altitude flight with moderate operating costs and noise levels. Like its successful predecessor, the Queen Air, the King Air has a slow landing speed that enables it to use small airports.
Successive models of the King Air have provided increased range and performance coupled with larger and more comfortable interiors. Though challenged by new light jets, the King Air continues to dominate the twin turboprop market, providing the most sophisticated turboprop business aircraft available.
