This article is about the Model 200 and 300 Series. For the Model 90 and 100 Series, see Beechcraft King Air.

The Beechcraft Super King Air is a family of civil utility airplanes manufactured by Beechcraft designated by the Model 200 and Model 300 series. The Super King Air entered military service in 1972 and began civilian service in 1974. In 1996, Beechcraft dropped the "Super King Air" designation in marketing materials in favor of "King Air", though the lineage remains distinctly different than the original Model 90 and Model 100 series, the Beechcraft King Air.

Summary

“ The Beechcraft King Air is the world's most popular business turboprop, a distinction earned over time through consistent, reliable performance and continuous refinement. A decade after the first prototype took flight in 1963, the company introduced the larger "Super King Air" – and though the "super" has since been dropped from the name, the branch is enjoying the longest production run of any civilian turboprop aircraft in its class.

In 2008, building on a well-established legacy, Beechcraft announced the King Air 350i, with an advanced avionics suite, greater passenger comfort, and reductions to interior noise and vibration that make the model a true rival to smaller jets.

The plane's powerful but efficient Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-60A engines, paired with dynamically-balanced four-blade Hartzell propellers, equate to remarkable payload capacity, extended range, and the most fuel-friendly aircraft in the business aviation market.

With excellent short runway performance and long, rugged landing gear, the 350i is able to take off and touch down at airports of almost any size – an invaluable asset in our modern world where business needs can take you anywhere. 		”
