- Inside The $5 Million TBM 960 Plane
0:00 - Intro
Daher took the wraps off its latest-generation TBM turboprop single-the TBM 960-on April 5 at the 2022 Sun ’n Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida, where it also displayed the first production example. Here is everything you need to know about the Daher TBM 960. Stay with us till the end to learn more about this exciting aircraft.
1:22 - Interior
An optional Prestige cabin package ups the price to about $4.8 million and adds a new environmental control system, LED ambience lighting, and electronically-dimmable windows. This premium cabin also includes a passenger comfort display for control of the environmental control system, LED ambience strip lighting integrated into both sides of the overhead ceiling panel, and dimmable windows, as well as other enhancements such as new ergonomically enhanced seats, USB-A and -C power plugs, cupholders, and headset hangers at each of the airplane’s six seats.
2:11 - Cockpit
With its G3000 integrated flight deck, the TBM 960 retains Daher’s e-copilot and safety systems found in other TBM models. This includes an icing protection system, flight envelope monitoring through the Electronic Stability and Protection and the Under-speed Protection systems, the Emergency Descent Mode function, as well as the HomeSafe emergency autoland system.
New to the TBM 960 is the Garmin GWX 8000 doppler weather radar with surveillance features like lightning and hail prediction, turbulence detection, zero blind range for close-in returns, and ground clutter suppression. It is also the first application for the Garmin GDL 60 flight parameter recorder with a 4G WiFi transceiver,
which allows automatic database uploads and links with mobile devices. FADEC (full authority digital engine control) is another new feature incorporated into the TBM 960. A single power lever-Daher calls it an “E-throttle”-controls the engine and propeller, and automatically prevents the engine from exceeding temperature limits. Yet another new system automates the start sequence.
3:32 - Engine
Topping the list of the big improvements is the TBM 960’s engine, a Pratt & Whitney PT6E-66XT rated for 1,844 shaft horsepower in thermodynamic power terms, and derated to 850 shaft horsepower like predecessor designs. This allows more power with lower internal temperatures at higher cruise altitudes. The new engine comes with a 5,000-hour overhaul interval, and hot section inspections required between 2,000 and 3,000 hours.
Daher explains that the intelligent PT6E-66XT powerplant and Hartzell Propeller’s five-blade Raptor composite propeller are the heart of the TBM 960, both of which are linked to the dual-channel digital Engine and Propeller Electronic Control System
According to Daher, the PT6E-66XT’s startup is fully automated after a single-switch activation. Further, the e-throttle power lever uses a single forward position from takeoff to landing, with the dual-channel digital engine and propeller electronic control system optimizing powerplant performance throughout the flight envelope, reducing pilot workload, and increasing the engine life.
Fully integrated into the propulsion system, a new 1,925-rpm five-blade composite-construction Hartzell Raptor propeller is specifically designed to reduce overall weight and improve the TBM 960’s takeoff distance, climb, and cruise speed, in addition to limiting noise and vibration.
FADEC (full authority digital engine control) is another new feature incorporated into the TBM 960. A single power lever-Daher calls it an “E-throttle”-controls the engine and propeller, and automatically prevents the engine from exceeding temperature limits.
6:15 - Performance
Performance is roughly the same as the 940, including a top speed of 330 knots or 661 kilometers per hour at FL280 and max range of 1,730 nautical miles or 3,200 kilometers at 252 knots. At Daher’s recommended cruise setting of 308 knots, the fuel consumption is only 57 U.S. gallons or 216 liters per hour. The Model 960 does have a 221-pound or 100-kilogram increase in maximum take-off weight to 7,615 pounds or 3,450 kilograms, to help offset the 140-pound or 63-kilogram heavier Prestige interior.
7:03 - Launch Date and Price
Deliveries of the TBM 960 are set to begin in the first half of 2022. While the price for the standard TBM 960 is approximately 4.6 million dollars, an optional Prestige cabin package ups the price to about 4.8 million dollars, with an anticipated increase to $5 million for the 2023 model year.

The speed of the plane compensates for not having a bathroom. At least you'll be able to get there quickly when you really have to go. 😅
😂
rich people (and hot girs) don't poop, that's why it doesn't have a bathroom, no need
Man, I’d love to fly one.
Honda Jet for the win
Yeah, in every way. But Honda Jet is much harder rating to get. Jet Engine ratings are a headache
I like the Pilot's door, otherwise I would go with the all-composite Epic E1000 GX and save a 1/2 million.
I purchased a new Pilates PC-12 NGX. IT HAS A TOILET. 😊
That's a great plane!
What do you do for a living
But does it have dimmable windows?
Maybe, not really sure 😂
Yes. Check time 0.50.
🤤
What do people do for a living to be able to afford one of these things? 😮
Extract taxes from the public.
So what if it is not a person that is buying it? When a corporation was to buy it to offset profits they made in a year. Then it be of no cost to that corporation. The people that are in that corporation then have a safe reliable way to get around. That would be a win win 😊
No one with a U.S. High School diploma should have to ask this question and that's not a dig on you - rather our crappy education system that allows students to graduate while thinking that a job that pays $100k per year, is a "lot of money". A: If you're a neurosurgeon making $675k per annum, and also are part owner of the clinic, then an aircraft like this is the equiv. of the average person buying a car. Many people who hold patents, license the right to their patents to industry. Others have made products in the biomedical industry. Many real estate brokers afford aircraft much larger than this. If you own your own company with a net income of $11mil per annum, then $5 million amortized over a number of years isn't any different than buying a car. Many accounting and law firms have aircraft 3x more expensive than this. Many people who have businesses in the transportation and shipping industries afford aircraft much larger than this. In California there are land owners with nut orchards who can easily afford this aircraft....
The problem with people who don't understand money is that what they typically consider a lot of money, isn't in reality, a lot of money. This aircraft is on the "cheap" side of aviation when looking at how much aircraft used for business can cost. Equipment on a farm can cost more than this airplane and just to give you a reference point, helicopters are even more expensive to buy and upkeep. Getting maintenance done on a twin engine piston airplane might cost $150,000 just for one engine. People just aren't used to recalibrating their minds to the costs associated with aviation. A mandatory engine inspection may cost you $50,000 on an engine in this aircraft. If people knew how much it costs to lease, buy, operate, and maintain airplanes -- they'd think twice before complaining about piddly airline ticket prices.
@@likeawhisprSpot on well said
They start a business and made the business a resounding success.
Still no crapper😂
😂
Got to bring your own😆
5 mill & no toilet no thanks
It has sone weak ass option but jeez its a fucking option not base
@@AB-tc8lx what about poop lol
@@qaqitae you got to wait
Shit in a bag oxymoran
We can put a toilette in your pockets if you dont mind?! What a oxymoran
I'd rather the Piper M700
Where will I piss though?😂
In the airport😂
If you are a dude then you can insert your hose into a bottle and do it then discard it later and if you are a bi**ch then you can use a balloon and then tie it up till you Land
Too expensive
