The TBM 700C2 introduced last year is a direct result of EADS Socata's philosophy of continued product development to meet customer needs. It delivers improved payload/range performance to TBM operators, with a maximum mission distance of 1565 NM (with a 45-min reserve) with an 864-lbs (392-kg) payload, easing communications within Europe.
