History

Released in 1990
Released in 1990
  • In 1990 the TBM 700 was the first pressurized single-engine turboprop certified. The original model (TBM 700A) was followed by the B model, featuring a large access door to allow easy passenger and baggage loading, as well as newly designed seats to improve comfort. A new interior sported rich leathers and elegant woodwork finished in high gloss with black chrome or gold inlays.
LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE
LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE
  • Since its introduction, the TBM 700 has kept its promise: delivering jet-like performance on a pistontwin budget, as well as turbine safety and superb handling throughout the flight envelope. Its short field performance is legendary. The TBM 700 slips into 2,800 ft (860 m) strips or mountain airports where business jets dare not follow.
TBM C model
TBM C model
  • The TBM 700 C model is the culmination of 10 years of fine-tuning, making it the most capable of all TBM 700s. Its airframe has been strengthened, its avionics upgraded, it is equipped with a new luggage compartement aft of the passenger cabin and with a new cabin environment control system setting a new reference in travel standard.

  • The TBM 700C2 variant is mainly characterized by wheels and tires reinforced and by a cabin equipped with 20 G seats, allowing to take off at an increased MTOW of 7,394 lbs (3354 kg), with a maximum payload of 1,347 pounds (611 kg). This increase in maximum weight translates into a stall speed of 65 KTAS (120 km/h), which meets the rules of FAR Part 23 Amendment 44.
