Beech King Air B200
Twin turboprop corporate, passenger & utility transport.
The King Air 200 is a continuation of the King Air line, with new features including the distinctive T-tail, more powerful engines, greater wing area and span, increased cabin pressurisation, greater fuel capacity and higher operating weights compared to its predecessors.
The King Air 200 went on to be the most successful aircraft in its class and is today the only one in production. The improved B200 features more efficient PT6A42 engines, increased zero fuel max weight and increased cabin pressurisation.
King Air B200s are popular as maritime patrol and resource exploration, and of course VIP transport.
In 1996 Raytheon dropped the `Super' prefix for all 200, 300 and 350 model King Airs.
