King Air B200CT

The Beechcraft King Air B200CT is a versatile twin‑engine turboprop that has served as a workhorse for civilian, governmental, and military operators since its introduction in the early 1990s. Derived from the long‑standing King Air line that began in the 1960s, the B200CT incorporates upgraded Pratt & Whitney PT6A‑41 engines, a strengthened airframe, and modern avionics, delivering a maximum cruise speed of about 285 knots and a range exceeding 1,800 nautical miles. Its pressurized cabin accommodates up to nine passengers or configurable cargo, while features such as the Collins Pro Line 21 glass cockpit, anti‑ice systems, and enhanced vibration dampening improve safety and comfort on short‑haul and medevac missions. The “CT” designation denotes the aircraft’s compliance with newer certification standards, including advanced stall protection and upgraded flight‑control logic. Over the decades the B200CT has earned a reputation for reliability, low operating cost, and ease of maintenance, making it popular with corporate fleets, regional airlines, and special‑mission units worldwide. Its enduring presence highlights the King Air family’s influence on modern turboprop design and underscores Beechcraft’s legacy of producing adaptable, high‑performance aircraft for diverse aviation needs.
