Daher has announced
the TBM 910 as the newest member of its TBM business
turboprop aircraft family, succeeding the TBM 900
version with the incorporation of a next-generation
integrated flight deck, along cabin interior and
safety enhancements.
Unveiled on Tuesday
(4th April) at the U.S. Sun 'n Fun International
Fly-in and Expo at Lakeland, Florida, Daher’s TBM
910 benefits from the same range, performance and
technical features that have contributed to the TBM
900’s success in Daher’s six-passenger pressurized
single-engine turboprop aircraft product line.
Among the key
changes are the TBM 910’s Garmin G1000 NXi flight
deck, which succeeds the G1000 version on TBM 900s -
bringing a modernized high-resolution flight display
design with significant performance enhancements.
The G1000Nxi’s
state-of-the art processors provide a faster system
boot-up and software loading, while also enabling
the system to manage more aviation data and maps
(including visual approach plates), and offering
additional capabilities such as enhanced situational
awareness. Another feature is the improved cockpit
connectivity, allowing wireless transfer of aviation
databases from the Garmin Pilot app on a mobile
device to the G1000 NXi system.
An enriched “feel”
with the flight deck’s new keyboard joystick gives
more accurate panning and fluid navigation on the
multi-function display pages.
The TBM 910’s
cabin interior features new seat shapes and
additional fittings that are identical to the TBM
930.
“Three words can
describe the TBM 910: speed, readability and
connectivity,” explained
Nicolas Chabbert,
Senior Vice President of the Daher Airplane Business
Unit, during a Sun 'n Fun press conference. “The TBM
910 is just as fast as its predecessor in flight,
while offering pilots quicker access to cockpit
information, along with safety-enhancing guidance
and improved readability. Therefore, the TBM family
of very fast turboprop continues to grow with the
TBM 910 - an alternative to the high-end TBM 930
version.”
Deliveries of the
TBM 910 will begin after the aircraft’s
certification, which is expected this spring. |
