King Air C90GTx

The Beechcraft King Air C90GTx is the latest evolution of the legendary C90 series that first entered service in 1974. Developed by Textron Aviation’s Beechcraft division, the GTx model builds on more than four decades of twin‑engine turboprop experience, combining proven reliability with modern technology. Introduced in 2022, the C90GTx features a new Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A‑21A engine delivering 550 shaft horsepower, which provides a 10‑percent increase in cruise speed and improved fuel efficiency compared to its predecessor. A fully integrated Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite offers dual‑screen displays, synthetic‑vision mapping and advanced flight‑management capabilities, while a redesigned cabin includes upgraded seating, sound‑absorbing materials and USB charging ports for passenger comfort. With a maximum take‑off weight of 8,200 pounds and a range of roughly 1,500 nautical miles, the aircraft serves regional operators, corporate flight departments and air‑medical services that require short‑field performance and versatility. The C90GTx reinforces the King Air’s reputation as a workhorse of general aviation, demonstrating how incremental innovation can keep a classic platform relevant in today’s competitive market. The aircraft received its FAA Type Certificate in 2023, and operators have praised its reduced emissions and lower operating costs, cementing its role as a option for missions.
