Summary

The King Air C90 is a low-wing, twin-turboprop utility aircraft manufactured by American aerospace firm Beechcraft. The C90 iteration of the King Air, which has seating for up to nine total, took its first flight on September 29, 1970 and was introduced the next year. A total of 507 of the airframes were build, with production ceasing in 1982.

The C90 features a main wing with a span of 50 feet, 3 inches, a traditional fuselage-mounted tail unit, and retractable tricycle landing gear. The aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-135A turboprop engines that each deliver 750 horsepower to Hartzell four-blade propellers.

The King Air C90 has a range of 1,520 miles, a ceiling of 30,000 feet above sea level, and a climb rate of 2,000 feet per minute. It cruises at 260 miles per hour and has a top speed of 311 mph.

The Beechcraft King Air C90 is both muscular and sleek in looks, and proves it has the performance to match its appearance. With twin powerful engines and intuitive flight controls and diagnostics, aviators always feel at home in the C90, day or night, in a range of conditions throughout the skies of the world.
