AIRCRAFT DESCRIPTION
The Model 90 King Air was conceived as the Model 120 in 1961. In July 2005, during the Oshkosh Airshow, Beechcraft introduced the C90GT. The C90GT was fitted with 750 shp (560 kW) PT6A-135As, flat rated to the same 550 shp (410 kW) as the earlier King Airs. This engine change increased performance due to lower operating temperatures, improving both cruise speed and climb rate.
With a 275 kt (509 km/h, 316 mph) cruise speed, the C90GT was highly competitive with the new generation of Very Light Jets over short to medium distances, while providing a larger and more luxurious cabin. On 21 May 2007, during the 7th Annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Geneva, Beechcraft announced the Model C90GTi updated version of the C90GT, featuring the Rockwell Collins Proline 21 avionics package previously only offered for the B200 and B300 King Airs.
The King Air C90 is found in a variety of configurations, typically six or seven-passenger executive seating with a four-place club, a seat directly across from the airstair door, and a belted lavatory seat. The aft cabin/lavatory area has 26.5 cu. ft. of baggage space. Cabin dimensions are 4.8ft. in height, 4.5ft. in width and 12.7ft. in length.
