It is covered by one of the most extensive support networks in the industry. Beginning with the 2008 model, the TBM 850 has been equipped with the Garmin G1000 integrated flight deck as standard equipment. [9] Later built models are equipped with winglets, which were developed by SOCATA primarily to reduce drag when flown at high angles of attack, such as during takeoffs, as well as to enhance the aircraft's aesthetics. The 5-blade propeller, which was designed specifically to integrate with the TBM 900s new inlet,  produces even more thrust and in combination with other performance enhancements improves the take-off distance, climb and cruise speed of the TBM 900. The TBM 900 is still powered by the proven PT6A-66D, but with all the other improvements, you get the equivalent of 80 more horsepower without increasing fuel consumption. [5] During early 1990, the first delivery of a TBM 700 occurred; the first production batch of 50 aircraft were sold out almost instantly. Our multi capable multi sensor has all the capabilities to control and monitor snow and ice accumulation while flying in extreme weather conditions. [14], The SOCATA TBM is a single-engined turboprop-powered low-wing monoplane, capable of seating a maximum of seven people. It is composed mainly of aluminium and steel construction, but with the tail surfaces built of Nomex honeycomb. As you were browsing something about your browser made us think you were a bot. The newly redesigned overhead panel is equipped with better instrument reading, a new abort position on starter switch and integrated switches. TBM 900, S/N 1043 Phillip Bozek TBM 900, S/N 1043. I’ve always been the guy who wants to go faster. The center of the yoke is specifically designed to optionally mount a mini iPad which puts everything at your fingertips. Thanks to the new torque limiter, you can use all of the TBM 900s 850 Hp right from the start of the takeoff roll. It features an electronic flight instrument system (EFIS), traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS), terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS), weather radar, lightning detection, dual Garmin GNS 530 navigation/communication systems, Bose headsets, dual transponders, dual compasses, and full cockpit instrumentation for both positions. The SOCATA TBM 900, manufactured from 2014-2016, requires a 1 person crew and can transport up to 5 passengers. Gives the pilot and co-pilot enhanced on demand satellite weather in the cockpit. By October 2019, 954 TBMs had been built and flew 1.76 million hours, with 734 delivered in North America and 158 in Europe.[25]. The TBM 900 offers top grain leather on all seated surfaces with detailed stitching. The super large 15-inch multi-function display (MFD) not only integrates all primary flight navigation , weather, traffic, and terrain information but also engine monitoring, aircraft status airport arrival/departure and checklists. They observed that it is faster on a 600 nmi (1,100 km) mission, and burns 26 per cent less fuel than the Cessna Citation Mustang.

From the onset, emphasis was placed upon the design's speed, altitude, and reliability. The 2-foot high winglets will immediately become the signature of the TBM 900. From the TBM 700B onwards, an enlarged cabin entry door was introduced, which later became standard upon subsequent models. [3], According to aerospace publication Flying, while the TBM 700 had rapidly proved popular on the market and a good aircraft on its own merits, the services and support facilities SOCATA provided for the aircraft were an initial point of weakness. Personalize your TBM 900 Interior with a various choice of supple leathers and noble materials. Design for ease of use, the TBM 900 yoke includes integrated push-buttons features like Control Wheel Steering, ATC Ident, Stormscope and Com frequency swap. Variants of the PT6A are in use on more than 100 different types of aircraft. The aircraft's existing engine will be supplemented by six 45 kW (60 hp) safran electric motor on the wing fed by a 100 kW (130 hp) APU or batteries. Airbus will install the batteries and optimize the aerodynamics, and Daher will install components and systems, and will be responsible for the flight testing and overall analysis. Early feedback received from operators and pilots was typically positive about the capabilities of the new aircraft, often praising its speed and generous power margins amongst other attributes. Additional information is available in this. The SOCATA TBM is a single-engined turboprop-powered low-wing monoplane, capable of seating a maximum of seven people.

According to Flying Magazine, even in the standard configuration, the cockpit is provided with a generous suite of avionics and equipment. A redesigned cowling with more efficient inlet, a simplified plenum to improve airflow, nozzles access, inertial separator up to VMO and more. [9], At the June 2018 Eurosatory, an ISR configuration with underwing hardpoints and electrical connections for sensors and aerial photography was offered for defense, security, medical evacuation and transport missions. The TBM 900 aircraft is essentially identical to that of the TBM 850 and 700 models. In March 2014, an aerodynamically refined version of the TBM 700N, marketed as the TBM 900, was made available. [9], In October 2017 Daher advertised that the design had a 60 US gal (230 l) fuel burn and US$213–228 maintenance cost per flight hour. [11], At the June 2019 Paris Air Show, Daher, Airbus and Safran teamed up to develop the TBM-based EcoPulse demonstrator for a hybrid electric aircraft. As a result we’ve added an inner gear door to the TBM 900, which reduced turbulence and improves its aerodynamic efficiency. [5], On 14 July 1988, the first TBM 700 prototype conducted the type's maiden flight. Newly redesigned with additional breakers, new lightning and labelling for clearer indentification. Safety proven, from years of regional airliner and commercial aircraft operations with over 43,000 engines in the field (spanning over 400 million flight hours), the PT6A is recognized as one of the most reliable aircraft powerplants ever built. Allows passengers to enjoy a comfortable cockpit where the temperature meets their most cooling comforting needs. [3], The Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-64 engine, providing up to 700 shp (522 kW). [9] The TBM 900 saw the adoption of a new five-bladed propeller, specially optimised by Hartzell based upon airflow simulations conducted of the TBM's forward section. [5][15] According to Flying Magazine, the PT6A-64 engine is "the secret to the TBM 700's performance. The seats are certified for their crashworthiness for up to 20 G. From the TBM 850 onwards, a combined air conditioner/environmental control system was integrated into the cabin, being simpler and requiring less adjustment than the prior arrangement. When Power, Efficiency and Superior Design exceed your expectations. Ergonomic yoke with remote command buttons, Automated Pressurization Control and Environmental System, Engine overhaul costs based on JSSI datas for turbines and estimated for jet engines, Has a large, quiet, air-conditioned, luxury cabin, Climbs to 31,000 ft in as little as 18 minutes, Flies over 1,585 nm with NBAA IFR reserves. [3], Shortly after launch, the TBM 700 was a market success, which quickly led to the production of multiple variants and improved models, often incorporating more powerful engines and new avionics, amongst other features. The introduction of the TBM 700C2, which increased the maximum takeoff weight from 6,578 to 7,394 lb (2,984 to 3,354 kg), enabled operators to fly with both fully laden fuel tanks and maximum cabin occupancy instead of compromising between the two due to weight restrictions. The TBM 700 is outfitted with a retractable tricycle landing geararrangement, newer models feature stronger main landin… Owner-operators fly 90% of all TBMs, while they account for 20% to 30% of the larger Pilatus PC-12 sales. The incredible range and payload capabilities blew away most of the competitive aircraft available on the market, including new very light jets and turboprops. Airframe designers carefully chose a variety of aluminum alloys, high strength steel (including titanium). The TBM 900 is powered by the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A engine. [9] This is partially due to the elimination of the 700 shp (522 kW) limitation for takeoff present on previous TBM models; all 850 shp (634 kW) of the PT6A-66D engine is normally available. The PT6A-66D model used on the TBM 900 has a thermodynamic rating of 1,825 horsepower and a flat-rated output of 850 shaft horsepower making it the most powerful PT6A built to date. [7], In 2014, an improved version of the aircraft, marketed as the TBM 900 was introduced, featuring 26 individual modifications, including the adoption of in-house-designed winglets, a redesigned air intake and the fitting of a five-blade Hartzell-built propeller, with the aim of delivering improved aerodynamics and performance. You've disabled JavaScript in your web browser. Get a feeling of your new aircraft. Thanks to the new torque limiter, you can use all of the TBM 900s 850 Hp right from the start of the takeoff roll. [3] On the TBM 900, electrical load distribution changes enable the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit to power up in sync with the switch-on of the battery with little battery drain. The SOCATA TBM (now Daher TBM) is a family of high performance single-engine turboprop business and utility light aircraft manufactured by Daher. "TBM 850: EADS Socata challenges the Very Light Jets". The TBM 900 airframe design employs several fail-safe structural design techniques, including the use of multiple load paths and a crack-stopper band to maximize subsystem reliability/durability and structural life. Benefit from the new e-copilot functions to ease your workload with AOA (Angle of attack) indicator, ESP/USP (Enhanced Safety Protection/Under Speed Protection) systems, EDM (Emergency Descent Mode) on your autopilot. [3], Accordingly, talks soon commenced between Mooney and SOCATA on the subject of producing a turboprop-powered derivative of the 301. After a year of testing, a follow-on commuter aircraft might be built by Daher. SOCATA, recognising the critical importance of an effective support infrastructure, decided to invest heavily in improving worldwide support for the type; instead of being solely reliant upon third parties and partnership arrangements with other companies, the firm developed their own facilities. The design of the TBM family originates from the Mooney 301, a comparatively low-powered and smaller prototype Mooney developed in the early 1980s.
