Daher TBM 930

The Daher TBM 930, introduced in 2021, is the latest iteration of the French‑engineered TBM family that began in the early 1990s when TBM first blended turboprop efficiency with jet‑like speed. Building on its predecessor, the TBM 930 incorporates a more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A‑68D engine delivering 850 shaft horsepower, which raises cruise speeds to 350 knots (650 km/h) and extends range to roughly 1,800 nautical miles. Its all‑composite wing and advanced aerodynamics reduce drag, while a fully digital flight‑deck features the Garmin G3000 avionics suite, including synthetic vision, enhanced flight director, and touchscreen controls. Cabin comfort is heightened by noise‑attenuating insulation, ergonomic seating for up to six passengers, and a modern cabin management system. The aircraft’s significance lies in redefining performance expectations for single‑engine turboprops, offering near‑jet speed with lower operating costs, and expanding access to remote airfields. As a versatile platform for corporate travel, emergency medical services, and regional transport, the TBM 930 reinforces Daher’s reputation for innovative, high‑performance aircraft and marks a pivotal step in the evolution of fast, efficient, general‑aviation propulsion.
