5 Turbine Powered Planes That Fly At Jet Speed

[@Bushy_P]

I love my B350! I can take full fuel of 3611lbs, 6 medical personnel, 2 patients, full wing lockers and cargo area, so about 700lbs of cargo and still be around only 15500lbs gross take off weight. Then climb to FL340 and fly 1000NM with good room for an alternate. The New Fusion aviaonis are pretty amazing and make IFR flying into 3000 foot strips in the middle of the winter a breeze. Love having the C version and the nice big cargo door / airstair.

[@RGSRinc]

Slight correction on the Evo. I own one. It’s ceiling is 28K. I’ve enjoyed mine but I’ve had it on the market for over 2 years, now. There is only 1 company currently insuring them and we’re getting BENT OVER to do so. Being an experimental and with a fleet size under 80 or so, it’s annual premium is right up there with my 2007 PC-12/47. Probably one of the main reasons I’ve been unable to sell mine.

[@herobo123456]

yeah this clown making the video makes lots of mistakes

[@alexmathis8505]

I was going to say the same thing, you can NEVER compare an experimental to a standard category aircraft - it's insane for both insurance and maintenance as you mention. I mean they are absolutely beautiful, but so is the TBM.

[@Heathfx5]

Probably makes more sense to register under an LLC with an umbrella liability insurance policy and forgo comprehensive coverage. Insurance prices are a joke, I got a quote for a T210 and they won’t go lower than 30k until i have 100hrs of retract time. So I decided instead to put that money toward getting my IFR rating and doing it in my instructor’s beech sierra, that was a quick way to knock out 40 hours of retract time and get an advanced rating that will also help my insurance rates.

[@MagnarNordal]

There's only one turboprop with jet-like performance, and that is the Piaggio 180 Avanti. The cruise speed is 390 kt. How did you forget that?

[@gendaminoru3195]

some models P.180 would do 405 kts, and the 400LS routinely cruises at 325kts but could be pushed to 350kts with M-T 5 blades, but they also forgot about MU-2's that can push 315 kts with the M-Ts and 331-10's. Cessna 441 Conquest with 331-10 can also push 320 kts.

As an Air Traffic Controller love all these turbo props. Should also include the P46T and Piaggio P180. Anyway the aircraft I've been most impressed with is the PC12. That thing is fast (enough), has excellent range, impressive payload and from my observations can land and takeoff on anything!!!

I can't believe the Avanti wasn't mentioned here either - speed IS pretty much what it was designed for, while (basically) sipping fuel. But yeah as a controller I'm sure you love these over the business jets and RJ's as you can easily slam-dunk a turboprop into just about anywhere without a problem. People don't realize that a slower turboprop can sometimes land QUICKER than a jet over the same leg - none of these videos ever mention that.

[@bunglerat]

I recently discovered your channel & am really enjoying your content. Nice work! If I may be critical of this one video in particular, I just want to point out that, as a former airline pilot (B737 & A330), I cringe whenever I hear anyone refer to these new generation single-engine turboprops as being capable of jet speeds. My experience of "jet speed" is the ability to climb at 250 KIAS below 10,000ft, 300 KIAS above, & routinely achieve a cruise TAS of 450-470 kts (that's normal cruise, let alone max) at FL400, for example. Whilst 300 kts is plenty fast without a doubt, none of these aircraft come even close to that kind of performance - & it's all just marketing BS the sales reps like to use to sway potential buyers from a real jet. I can almost see the argument for lower operating costs as being the carrot, but on the other hand there are plenty of low-time, used light jets on the market for considerably less than, let's say, a brand new, fully optioned TBM-940 at around $5 million. If I won the lottery, I'd get myself a used Premier 1A for $2 million or less, take the $3 million I saved from what I would have spent on the TBM, & use it to offset the higher operating costs of the jet. At a typical hourly operating cost of around $1,800 p/hr, that'd buy me more than 1,600 hours of flying. If I averaged 250 hours a year, that's more than 6 years' worth of operation paid for. So when considering that the jet costs more to fly by the hour but gets you there a lot sooner, I'm not even sure that operating costs make for a solid argument. Personally, I think the lure of the single-engine turboprop is because the low-time pilot with no jet experience can step up to one a lot easier, as the training & insurance requirements are less stringent. Just my 50 cents, for what it's worth... 😎

[@elanthys]

@@Nightblood995 Should simply be "5 Turboprop Planes..." then, since saying "prop-powered" might cause confusion with piston/radial props too.

A correction for the TBM 940: the long range cruise speed is 252 knots true air speed (290 mph) but it has a top cruise speed of 330 knots true air speed (380 mph) at 28,000 feet. This does drop the range by just under 300 nautical miles but it can save 3 hours off of the flight time

When I flew for Great Lakes Airlines on both the BE1900 and EMB120, on their little corporate brochure it said "These aircraft fly at near-jet speeds." Oh how I laughed.

[@speedomars]

Why laugh...guess you are not an aviator. Turbo-props are jets just with a prop used for thrust instead of the expanding hot air only. Many turboprops are faster than small jets for good reason...they are smaller, lighter but still generate massive thrust to weight. They climb faster and often cruise faster.

[@NoelBarlau]

@@speedomars I'm a 737 Captain at a U.S. major airline. And you're completely wrong. The Brasilia was one of the faster turboprops of its time, and it couldn't even beat a first-generation Cessna Citation from Waco, TX to Lawrence, KS. We took off right before the Citation, but they landed 15 minutes before we did. And that's just one personal example I happen to remember. If you can back up your claims with evidence, I'd love to see it.

[@speedomars]

@@NoelBarlau You are not talking about the same thing. Example. The LX7 turboprop has a cruise of 315kts. The TBM 940 cruises at 330kts. The Cirrus SF50 jet has a cruise of 305kts. The fastest turboprop made was the Tupolev TU-95 which clipped along at 500kts. Sure your 747 tops out higher, but cruises at 400 to 500 kts. The point being a turboprop like a TBM or Piaggio Avanti II which cruises at 400kts are certainly competitive and sometimes often faster than a personal jet.

[@NoelBarlau]

@@speedomars Your response was to my comment regarding commuter turboprops, not small private corporate aircraft. Also, there's a reason turboprops are rated in knots instead of mach. But if you insist on comparing your fastest turboprops with my relatively slow 737, the 737's "max cruise" or Vmo is 340 knots, or Mach .82 if you'd care to look up the Mmo for your example turboprops. It's the Mach number which will make the most distance over time.

I love my King Air

[@johncillis3431]

I've only flown light sport and trikes, but I love all niches of aviation, since I traveled by airline during most of my career, on a passenger jet or puddle jumper every ten days or so for a decade straight, tapering down as I got older. Your video and review of these aircraft is so well done, you present these aircraft at a good pace, and share the important things and tradeoffs to note about each one, which is true in smaller aircraft as well. I chose to rent aircraft, since '06 under Light Sport, I wanted to fly recreationally, and flying trikes I always rented not only the aircraft, but a CFI's time, so I could enjoy some moments with the CFI at the controls learning in a rare niche a mode of flight that has no practical purpose other than for recreation.

Sometimes I feel like I want to pursue a career a pilot. Flying commercially on a window seat is a magical experience in general I couldn’t imagine flying the bitch myself

[@juliusouma4474]

How comes you did not include Piper M600 sir. Its a very good Turboprop with Modern Systems and Autoland Configurations.
