Overview
Program history
The B200GT was introduced as the next major propulsion development of the 200 series. Its engine installation improved performance without changing the aircraft’s basic role. Beechcraft then used customer feedback from B200GT operators to develop the King Air 250, placing particular emphasis on takeoff and airport capability.
