Beechcraft King Air C90GTi

Overview

• Hawker Beechcraft created the King Air C90GTi by replacing the King Air C90B’s 550-shaft-horsepower Pratt & Whitney PT6A-21 engines with PT6A-135A’s. The change gives the C90GTi extra thermodynamic horsepower that allows it to produce the full 550shp under high and hot conditions that would have limited the previous engine. As a result, this pilot-friendly aircraft has better takeoff performance, faster cruise speeds at higher altitudes, and faster times to climb (The GTi can reach FL300 in 25 minutes, nearly half the time of the C90B). With standard safety features such as auto-feather and rudder bias which applies rudder pressure in case of an engine failure, and a comfortable, spacious cabin, the King Air C90GTi is a popular, fuel-saving alternative to comparable light jet aircraft.
