The newly designed turboprop aircraft have become the most exciting market segments equipped with innovative features suitable for current and future models. Though the General Aviation Manufacturers Association reported a drop in turboprop shipments in 2019, these new models and upgrades have continued to interest buyers. Exceptional dependability while generating more power to carry substantial loads for longer distances are among the reasons making this aircraft most preferred by buyers.
The Pilatus PC – 12 series have proven to redefine single-engine-turboprop aircraft because of its versatility. Launched in 1991, the company has produced over 1,700 units making this luxury business airplane suitable for executive transport. The latest version, the PC-12 NGXi, comes with a BMW Designworks plus advances with a modern cockpit. This new version also comes with more speed and critical features that make it the best than other previous versions.
Another remarkable single-engine turboprop airplane is the Cessna Denali, designed by Textron Aviation engineers. The Denali resembles the PC-12 in terms of performance, a large rear cargo door, and advanced flight-deck technologies with a luxurious interior. This aircraft is powered by a high-compression GE Aviation Catalyst engine and fitted with a Garmin G3000 touchscreen avionic suite. It also has a dual-channel fadec single-power lever accompanied by detents and digital propeller control for streamlined operations.
The Epic Aircraft E1000 model claims a top position of single-engine-turboprop airplanes offering six-passenger capacity and an all-carbon-fiber luxury airplane. It is the transition of the experimental Epic LT kit model with the original E1000 receiving the FAA approval in 2019. The Epic E1000 has a maximum cruising speed of 333 ktas, making it one of the fastest in the segment.
The Daher’s TBM 940 is the latest version of the Venerable 900-series equipped with a thermodynamic-producing engine rating of 1,825 hp. The aircraft also comes with the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck and E-Copilot functions. Other features include a highly customized interior and a large cargo area.
The Beechcraft King Air C90GTx completes the list because it is one of the legendary single-engine-turboprop airplanes though smaller. When flying, it offers more power, including simplified single-pilot operations, square-oval cabin, and Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion avionics suite.
