King Air B200GT

The Beechcraft King Air B200GT is a twin‑engine turboprop that has become a benchmark for utility and corporate aviation since its introduction in the early 1990s. Developed from the original Model 90 series, the B200GT entered production in 1992 as an upgraded version of the popular B200, featuring the powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A‑135A engine delivering 750 shaft horsepower per shaft. This power boost, combined with a redesigned six‑blade propeller, provides a cruising speed of around 300 knots and a maximum range of roughly 1,500 nautical miles, allowing operators to fly longer legs with greater fuel efficiency. The aircraft’s pressurized cabin is 6.4 meters long, offering seating for up to eleven passengers, a fully configurable interior, and state‑of‑the‑art avionics such as the Collins Pro Line 21 glass cockpit. Its robust airframe, STOL capability, and reliable systems have made the B200GT a favorite for regional airlines, air‑ambulance services, and government missions worldwide. Over the decades it has set standards for safety, versatility, and performance, cementing the King Air line’s legacy as one of the most enduring and versatile turboprop families in aviation history.
