Remanufactured Turboprop Launched Two Years Ago

The FAA has certified the Nextant Aerospace G90XT turboprop. The remanufactured King Air is powered by GE H75 engines, and features single lever power control technology for enhanced safety and reduce pilot workload; a fully integrated Garmin G1000 flight deck including electronic engine and fuel quantity indication; digital pressurization; Auto-start and full electronic engine control system; and an ergonomically re-designed cockpit.

“Just two years ago, we announced the launch of the G90XT program. Our goal was to deliver an entry level, twin-engine turboprop that offered the best combination of overall value, performance, and cabin comfort in the category," said Jay Heublein, executive vice president for Nextant. "We specifically focused on creating the safest single-pilot operating platform in the industry, and the G90XT has exceeded our expectations. I’m very appreciative of our team members who worked on the program and the great group of partners who collaborated on this project with Nextant. Together we have created an exceptional aircraft that was delivered in a timely manner and on budget.”

The G90XT features the General Electric H75 engine along with the fully integrated Regent flight deck based on the GARMIN G1000 avionics suite. “Our approach with the G90XT was aligned with our first offering, the 400XTi. Through our unique remanufacturing process, we take a good aircraft and make it a great one.”

“Our approach with the G90XT was aligned with our first offering, the 400XTi. Through our unique remanufacturing process, we take a good aircraft and make it a great one. By working with actual operators of the aircraft, we systematically identified potential areas of improvement and delivered solutions to address those items," Heublein said. "The integration of an entirely new environmental cooling system which moves 300% more air in the cabin was created in direct response to operator feedback that implied the aircraft needed better ground cooling capacity.”

The airplane will be assembled in Cleveland, OH with production planned beginning next year.
