Beechcraft King Air 350
Beechcraft King Air 350 – The King Air began life as a turboprop development of the Queen Air designed to meet a US Army requirement for a staff/utility transport. A prototype PT6 powered Queen Air Model 65-80 (later 65-90T) began test flying in 1963 and the type was subsequently ordered by the US Army in unpressurised form as the U-21A.
The King Air 100 series was announced in May 1969. Compared with the 90 series it was 1.27m (4ft 2in) longer, allowing greater seating capacity, and featured a reduced wing span and larger rudder.
The King Air 350ER offers flexible, reconfigurable interiors, making them equally adept at accommodating passengers, cargo, air ambulance or other missions. It’s no surprise organizations choose Beechcraft to transport their important personnel and cargo – no matter where they fly.
Aircraft Interior
The legendary comfort of the King Air’s square-oval interior offers generous head and shoulder room, unmatched by conventional cabin cross sections. The King Air 350 interior is furnished with finely crafted seats that are able to laterally track, swivel and recline.
The flight deck of the King Air 350 reflects pilot feedback generated during millions of flight hours in all weather conditions. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite contributes to the King Air’s record of reliability with advanced situational awareness features such as electronic charts and graphical weather display.
