TBM : freedom to navigate the skies

As the world’s fastest single-engine turboprop aircraft, the TBM attains jet-like speeds, yet is straightforward to fly and maintain.

Daher has final assembly lines on two continents: one at its Tarbes industrial site in southwestern France, where TBM aircraft are built; and the other in the United States at Sandpoint, Idaho, home to the Kodiak assembly line. These industrial locations are accompanied by a comprehensive sales and maintenance network that enables Daher to offer a world-class level of service in the turboprop-powered aircraft segment.

As the world’s fastest single-engine turboprop aircraft, the TBM attains jet-like speeds, yet is straightforward to fly and maintain. Its maximum range and useful load – as well as the ability to land at small airports – are some of the favorite performance features of TBM owners and operators. From carrying up to six passengers in ultimate comfort to transporting bulky baggage and cargo, the TBM’s flexible cabin can handle almost everything. A fully enclosed toilet is available as an option for long-range trips.

The TBM 960 sets new standards for excellence as the latest family member. Piloting with precision is ensured through all phases of flight, benefiting from Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PT6E-66XT advanced powerplant and the five-blade Hartzell Raptor composite propeller, associated with a fully digital engine control system.

Safety is paramount on the TBM 960 with the most advanced cockpit available today, including the game-changing HomeSafe™ emergency autoland system that can guide the aircraft to a landing in the event of pilot incapacitation.

On the TBM 910, the Garmin G1000 NXi avionics combine high-resolution displays with state-of-the-art powerful processors. The architecture provides fast boot-up and software loading, enabling real-time map rendering and smooth panning through the displays.

More than 1,070 TBM aircraft have been delivered worldwide.
