History

The Model 200 was originally conceived as the Model 101 in 1969, and developed from the Model 100 King Air. The Model 200 had essentially the same fuselage as the Model 100, with changes to the rear fuselage to accommodate a new T-tail and structural changes to allow higher maximum pressurisation .Apart from the T-tail, other changes included Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-41 engines rated at 850 shp (630 kW) and a wing of increased span and extra fuel capacity. Overall, the 200 was longer, with a greater fuel capacity. Maximum Take-Off Weight also increased by 450 kg. The first prototype flew for the first time on October 27, 1972. The Beechcraft King Air 200 received civil certification in December 1973. More than 1800 King Air 200's have been delivered over 40 years in production.

Design

The Beechcraft King Air 200 is a twin-engined turboprop aircraft with retractable landing gear. It features a large, pressurised cabin seating 15, including 1 or 2 pilots. Entry is through an aft stair door. To the right you’ll find 55.3 cubic feet of netted cargo area. Its tall, robust landing gear, especially when fitted with optional high float larger tyres, delivers better ground/propeller clearance. This makes quick work of short, unpaved or uneven runways. The aircraft has 2 engines, turning 4-blade props that spin at 1500-1900 rpm. Powered by: 2 Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42. It has a maximum cruising speed of 515km/h. Lower cruising altitudes made for quick climbs and short trips.
