5 Turboprop Planes That Are Better Than Jets

[@ericvanvlandren8987]

Where is the Piaggio P180 Avanti on this list? Outperforms small business jets in many ways. Huge miss to be left off the list.

For less money you can buy a King Air C90A, have it restored with a new Garmin panel and autopilot, paint and interior. Then hang a set of Pratt -135A's on it and have a solid airplane. With a potty. And room. Put some wing lockers on it if you need the baggage room. Maybe some aft strakes for yaw. And still spend less money.

Basically making your own F90.

@marcusott2973 Except for the T tail. And very few F models were built making them hard to find. C90A's are much more common and cheaper overall as a result. The -135A is a simple bolt on mod that really improves it.

@airmecher The F was too close in capabilities to the 200 and surely ate into the sales of the more expensive one. A company in Idaho makes a very nifty intake/ exhaust modification for the F, giving noticeable increases in power and efficiency, taking it within 5 knots of the 200.

For the price of a dayher I'd want something with a toilet 😂
