Extends Warranty Period For Latest King Air Technology
Commuter Air Technology (CAT), an AGC Aerospace and Defense Company, says it has expanded production of its popular CAT Exhaust Gas Extractors for the King Air turboprop to the 350 model. The exhaust gas extractor technology adds the possibility of longer flights and quicker speeds to King Air aircraft operators.
CAT also announced it has extended the warranty for the Exhaust Gas Extractors for the King Air 350 to 7 years or 2,000 flight hours. The warranty for previous models was 5 years or 1,000 hours.
The 350 extractors join a lineup produced by CAT for the King Air 90, 200 and 300 models. The ceramic coated, stainless steel CAT Exhaust Gas Extractors add performance and improved fuel consumption to the King Air aircraft models.
According to the company, the CAT technology:
- Improves true airspeed by up to 7 knots;
- Reduces fuel consumption by up to 10 percent;
- Minimizes wing and nacelle sooting;
- Maintains color; and
- Resists cracking.
“We are pleased to expand our line of CAT Exhaust Gas Extractors to the latest high performance King Air, its 350 model,” said CAT President Darryl Wilkerson. “With the introduction of this extractor, we now produce performance enhancing technology across the line of top selling King Air models.”
CAT delivers certified aircraft and aircraft modifications, including high performance and flight characteristics enhancements, commuter and high-density passenger systems and support, corporate reconfigurations and cargo conversions.
