Nextant Aerospace is hoping to launch a new product as early as next May’s European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition in Geneva, in partnership with engine supplier GE Aviation.
The move comes as the Cleveland, Ohio-based company readies the King Air G90XT – a remanufactured version of the C90 twin-engined turboprop – later this month. Baseline testing with the C90’s Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 engines is complete and Nextant is now preparing to mate the G90XT’s H75 engines with the fuselage. “We plan to reveal performance data at NBAA later this month,” says Nextant president Sean McGeough.
The G90XT is set for certification this year, featuring a Garmin G1000 flightdeck, new interior and refresh of life-limited parts.
