The Very Fast TBM 900

The TBM 900 with a cruise speed of 330 KTAS gives owners and pilots the advantages of typical cruising speeds of light jets, with the economical operating costs of a single-engine turboprop.
Daher is proud to deliver the TBM 900 Outstanding Performer to its Customers.
Developed during a more than three-year program involving 160,000 research and development hours, along with 200 hours of flight testing, the TBM 900 has been certified and will be ready for deliveries beginning this month.
Daher has integrated 26 modifications in the TBM 900, building on the solid basis of its TBM aircraft family, including:
- Aerodynamic optimization through the addition of winglets and a vertical tailfin strake, as well as a new tail cone;
- The use of a five-blade composite propeller and redesigned spinner;
- A complete nose-to-firewall redesign for improved engine airflow circulation -- featuring a banana-shaped air intake, carbon-fiber cowlings and new exhaust stacks;
- Enhanced human-machine interface features, ranging from an ergonomic control yoke with new functions to the restyled cockpit panel for increased visibility and interaction with secondary system controls;
- A revised cockpit center pedestal that incorporates a single-control throttle operation, associated with a new torque limiter that enables the use of 850 hp. engine power at takeoff;
- A completely revamped electrical system with 300-amp starter generator that allows new avionics and electronic devices to be incorporated on the aircraft. Its new electric core enables a semi-automatic start-up, while the new-generation 100-amp stand-by alternator provides electrical input in case of power supply loss;
- Increased passenger comfort, benefitting from lower cabin noise levels, an automated pressurization system and new-design seats.
Retaining primary airframe commonality with the predecessor TBM 850 -- including its Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66D powerplant -- the enhanced TBM 900 version ensures a proven airframe/engine combination.
The TBM 900's top cruise speed is increased to 330 KTAS at 28,000 ft., and its maximum range is extended to 1,730 naut. mi. with five adult passengers as a result of the fuel consumption reduction to 37 U.S. gallons per hour.
By using the available 850 shp. engine power from takeoff, the aircraft's ground roll is reduced -- even in hot-and-high conditions -- while its improved climb rate enables the 31,000-ft. ceiling to be reached in 18 minutes, 45 seconds.

This is the most gorgeous aircraft ive ever seen. Forget fancy cars or a yacht... I want a TBM930!!

[@makemyday1477]

Ha, and people thought you could only make French fries, you showed them.

[@tomasjay1005]

It is impressive.

[@killianjohn4794]

A French masterpiece..

[@marccretten]

Guys you make an awesome aircraft and its by far my favourite but aluminium construction is disappointing when we have composite aircraft technology like the Epic T1000 is using. Maybe for the TBM 1000 you should look into a full composite airframe?.

[@22airjordan1]

I think the logic is to build a composite aircraft would be a total clean sheet design and certification which costs millions upon millions of dollars. So they are sticking to what they have been doing since the 80's. But Epic and Kestrel are going to give TBM a run for their money!!

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

For the 1100 they should look into a counterrotating-twin

[@hugos.5059]

I want one and I don't even fly... lol

[@princekp1]

i will own one or more of these aircraft!!

[@corsario305]

I will own just one of em :)

[@killianjohn4794]

Me too buddy..

[@mattverville9227]

I will fly one

[@ctn830]

Beautiful plane but it's French. I would still go with Piper and stay American!
