King Air 300 Performance

Aircraft Range

2,254 Nautical Miles

Cruise Speed

300 MPH

The main improvement of the King Air 300 over its predecessor is the addition of the more powerful PT6A-60A turboprop engines, rated at 1050hp, in place of the 42s of the earlier model. These engines were installed inside reprofiled and more aerodynamically clean “pitot” cowlings, known as such due to the reshaped engine air intakes. Other changes included redesigned exhausts and extended wing leading edges. These changes increased the aircraft’s aerodynamic effectiveness, allowing the King Air 300 to cruise at speeds up to 315 knots – or 362mph – with a maximum range of 2254 statute miles. Both empty and maximum takeoff weights were also increased in the updated design.

The new changes also included upgrades to the internal avionics. The King Air 300 is recognizable by its low and straight wing, and two wing-mounted, four-bladed turboprop engines. The aircraft also incorporates a swept T-tail with swept horizontal stabilizer.
