Atlanta, GA, October 19, 2010 – DAHER-SOCATA displays a recent TBM 850 Model Year 2010 at the National Business Aviation Association’s 63rd Annual Meeting and Convention, to be held October 19-21 in Atlanta, Georgia.
DAHER-SOCATA’s presence in the NBAA static display at Atlanta DeKalb Peachtree Airport – which is home to one of the company’s North American sales centers – features its current production aircraft: the TBM 850 Very Fast Turboprop.
For the NBAA convention’s indoor displays at the Atlanta World Congress Center, DAHER-SOCATA’s exhibit focus on the company’s aerostructures business.
The TBM 850 is world’s fastest single turboprop aircraft, with a maximum cruising speed of 320 KTAS at Flight Level 260 (in ISA conditions). It combines the cruising speed and trip times of a light jet with the economic direct operating costs, range and moderate environmental signature of a turboprop engine. The maximum range and useful load – which are enhanced on the new model – and the ability to land at small airports are
some of its customers’ favorite features.
