Overview
Program history
Beechcraft used the successful 200-series layout as the starting point for the 300. The development increased available power and capability while retaining the T-tail architecture. The later B300, marketed as the King Air 350, added a stretched fuselage and winglets to expand the cabin and mission offering.
