New Multi-Mission Beechcraft King Air Makes Show Debut In Paris
​

Today, Textron Aviation unveiled that its Beechcraft King Air Multi-mission demonstrator was making its show debut at the 2025 edition of the Paris Air Show. If you want to see the aircraft it is on static display Monday, June 16, through Thursday, June 19, at the Textron Pavilion A2.

"The King Air’s acquisition and operation cost, combined with excellent speed, range and payload capacity make it an excellent value for a wide range of special missions," said Bob Gibbs, vice president, Special Missions Sales. "The best-selling turboprop serves as an ideal platform for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, utility transport, training and more. Over the last few years, we have seen solid European demand of our Cargo Door King Air 360C for essential air ambulance services."

Powered by PT6A-67A engines with dual oil coolers, the aircraft offers hot/high airfield performance as well as impressive climb performance and cruising speeds. Interior features include a mission rack with displays and a mission computer, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) VIP seating, AvFab and LifePort mission seats and a LifePort medevac stretcher. The cockpit is compatible with Night Vision Imaging Systems (NVIS).

When government, military and commercial customers want airborne solutions for critical missions, they turn to Textron Aviation. The Beechcraft King Air on display is fitted with extended range (ER) fuel tanks, a factory-installed extended utility nose capable of housing a variety of sensors up to a 20-inch EO/IR sensor and a lift kit to retract, factory-installed wing hardpoint provisions and a cargo door that supports air ambulance and freight operations to enhance mission flexibility.
