Turboprops

Return to Buyers Guide

New turboprop aircraft are one of the most exciting market segments for 2020 and beyond, with plenty of innovation delivered by new entrants and great updates to pilot favorites. The Pilatus PC-12 NGX is the latest version of this 25-year model, and Beechcraft’s King Air line expands with the 360, as well as its entry-level twin turboprop, the C90GTx. Epic certified its E1000, and updates it to the GX model for late 2020. Daher’s acquisition of Kodiak means it covers the spread from utility to elegance with the Kodiak 100 and the TBM 940. And Piper makes history with its M600/SLS–the first airplane certified with Garmin’s Autoland.
