Description

The Model C90-1 entered production in 1982 after 507 C90s and 347 E90s had been built, and featured PT6A-21 engines and improvements to the pressurization system. 54 were built. The following year the F90-1 was put into production with redesigned engine cowlings, upgraded PT6A-135A engines, hydraulic landing gear, and triple-fed electrical bus; only 33 were built by the time production terminated in 1985. The C90-1 was soon followed by the Model C90A, which featured the redesigned engine cowlings of the F90-1. The C90A received an increase in MTOW in 1987, being certified to 10,100 lb (4,580 kg). The C90A model was in production until 1992, by which time 235 had been built, all but 74 with the increased MTOW. Only two C90As were built in 1992, the Model C90B followed that year with airframe improvements, four-bladed propellers, and propeller synchrophasing, all in an effort to reduce cabin noise. This model also had PT6A-21s; the first production C90B was fitted with the 10,000th PT6 engine delivered to Beechcraft. In 1994 a cheaper version was introduced as the C90SE (Special Edition), with three-bladed propellers, standardised interior and mechanical instruments instead of the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) fitted to the C90B. A total of 456 C90Bs and C90SEs were delivered by the time production of these models ended in late 2005.

King Air B200

Features

Aircraft Type: Turbo Prop
Seat: 8 Seater
Luggage: 15 Baggage
Runway Requirement: 3,500 Feet
Range: 1,700 NM
Cabin Height: 4.7 Feet

Description

A total of 14 B200s were produced in 1989 and 1990 in a 13-seat high density configuration with a belly cargo pod; these were marketed by Beechcraft as a commuter airliner under the designation Model 1300. Customers for this version included Mesa Airlines. The propeller installation changed again in 1992, when Beechcraft started offering the option of having 4-bladed Hartzell or McCauley propellers, or 3-bladed Hartzell propellers; the 3-bladed McCauley propellers were no longer available. From October 1995 Beechcraft offered an updated B200 with Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) avionics, this was marketed as the “B200SE Super King Air (for Special Edition). The following year the “Super” name was dropped from all marketing and advertising. In October 2003, Beechcraft announced another avionics upgrade for the B200, the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite. The B200 remains in production, with a total of 13 built in 2009. The B200C is available for order; in January 2009 two B200Cs were delivered to the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia (RFDS). The two B200Cs were the first examples delivered in about three years (the most recent B200Cs prior to this were two delivered in early 2006 for use as air ambulances in Scotland). On May 21, 2007, during the 7th Annual European Business Aviation.

Aircraft Type: Light Jet
Seat: 6 Seater
Luggage: 10 Baggage
Lavatory: Yes
Runway Requirement: 4,000 Feet
Range: 1,100 NM
Cabin Height: 4.7 Feet

Description

Made by one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world, Brazil-based Embraer, the Phenom 100 is a very light twin engine jet. Able to accommodate four passengers and a single pilot, this small private jet is ideal for individuals or small companies.The Phenom 100 has a comfortable range of 1,160 nautical miles and can climb to 37,000 feet in just 23 minutes.The Phenom 100 is also powerful. Two Pratt and Whitney PW617F-E engines power the Phenom 100, providing a thrust for takeoff of 1,695 pounds each. These engines employ a FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electrical Control) system, making them extremely efficient and simple in flight. The engine inspection interval is 3,500 hours.It may be classified as a very light private jet, but the Phenom 100 is competitive with larger private jets in performance and space. Its high speed cruise of 380 knots true airspeed trumps all close competitors.The interior of the Phenom 100 is surprising for its size as well. Measurements are 11 ft long, 4’11” high and 5’1″ wide. The jet boasts 305 cubic feet of total cabin volume and 55 cubic feet of baggage capacity.Being a very light private jet, the Phenom 100 offers much of the same capabilities and characteristics that are specific to a class higher, but still at a fraction of the cost.

Avanti 180

Features

Aircraft Type: Turbo Prop
Seat: 6 Seater
Luggage: 8 Baggage
Multi-course Meal on Board: Yes
Lavatory: Yes
Flight Attendant: Yes
Runway Requirement: 4,000 Feet
Range: 1,700 NM
Cabin Height: 4.7 Feet

Description

The Avanti’s turboprop engines are placed on a mid-set, high aspect ratio wing located just behind the cabin. The three-surface design incorporates both a T-tail and a pair of small, fixed fore wings having slight anhedral and landing flaps. On the Avanti II these flaps automatically deploy in concert with the main wing flaps. This reduces the load on the tail plane, even when the flaps are deployed, by reducing the pitch-down moment created by the deployment of the main wing flaps. This in turn allows the size of both the tail plane and the main wing to be reduced. This particular three-lifting-surface configuration was patented in 1982. The forward wing’s angle of incidence is slightly greater than that of the main wing, so that it stalls before the main wing, producing an automatic nose-down effect prior to the onset of main wing stall; its five-degree anhedral (negative dihedral) keeps the stream wash interference clear of the engine inlets, the main wing and the tail plane.

Cessna CJ2

Features

Luggage: 12 Baggage
Multi-course Meal on Board: Yes
Lavatory: Yes
Flight Attendant: Yes
Runway Requirement: 4,000 Feet
Range: 1,400 NM
Cabin Height: 4.7 Feet

Description

The CJ2 is quite fuel-efficient, with an average fuel burn of 140 gallons per hour. The economy of its fuel burn can be largely attributed to Cessna’s choice of engines. It uses two Williams/Rolls-Royce FJ44-2C turbofan engines, each of which delivers 2,400 lbs. of thrust on take off (400 lbs. more than the CJ1 and CJ1+).The CJ2 can take off in 3,420 feet at sea level, or in 5,080 feet on a runway at an altitude of 5,000 feet. It takes seventeen minutes to climb to 37,000 feet. At its maximum certified flight ceiling of 45,000 feet, it reaches its long range cruise speed of 352 knots. Its high speed cruise is 407 knots. All of the cabin’s pressurization systems (certified to 8.9 psi) are controlled digitally, able to maintain a sea-level cabin pressure at 23,586 feet.The CJ2 is extremely easy to fly and can be single-pilot operated. The Citation line was designed for forward-thinking businessmen that would fly their own private jets to and from business meetings, resulting in several automated systems and a simple avionics system. For those that don’t plan to fly their own jet, its ability to be flown by a single pilot offers greater flexibility in flight operations and reduced per-hour flight costs.

It can complete coast-to-coast trips,With a cabin as roomy as the 850XP’s, its no wonder Raytheon chose to reuse the design for the 900XP. With a 604 cubic ft. cabin, the aircraft surpasses all others in its class. Features of the cabin include stand-up headroom, LCD lighting, touch-screen seat controls, fully-berthable seats and plenty of in-cabin storage. The cabin accommodates eight passengers.The 900XP business jet offers unbeatable fuel efficiency, performance, intuitiveness and comfort. Although improved from earlier Hawker models, the 850XP lacks the power and range of the 900XP. It is simply more machine.
