How To Find A Suitable Beechcraft Plane - Jubliant Enpro

When you want to buy a private jet, a Beechcraft is usually the most comfortable and affordable choice. Beechcraft in India has been around now for over 50 years. It is such a popular choice of private jets that Red Box India has one of their toolsets customised just for Beechcraft models.

The first Beech was launched in the early 1930s with a Travel Air. It was a conventional taildragger with a round engine as were most aircraft at that time. However, they created a special military version of the Model 18 twin that got them busy in the business. 

Beechcraft and Red Box in India:

The first aeroplane that they built was a Model 17 Staggerwing that was somewhere in between the slow open cockpit biplane and the modern tricycle planes. But the most revolutionary light plane in history was the distinctive V-25 Bonanza that was a four-seater used for personal transportation. This versatile line of aeroplanes is still pressed into service as a modern-day jet plane which is comfortable, fast, light and easy to fly.

The Baron series brought out in 1961 was a twin of the Bonanza while being better than the Bonanza in every department. The Baron series gave birth to the Queen Airs which are supercharged twin-piston cabin class that served as the basis for the King Air models.

Beechcraft in India basically started with the King Air brand in the 1960s which dominated the private turboprop jet market. Rivals from Piper, Swearingen and Cessna just could not outclass the King Air. Later the Baron series provided more room and power to the aeroplanes and the A-36 added a whole host of tricks. Some of them were club seating, powerful engines and a large passenger door which are still in production today.

Then came along a few not-so-successful attempts aimed at overtaking rivals in various markets like four-seaters, entry levels, training planes, etc. With the adoption of Diamond Jet in the mid 1980s, the renaming of the Hawker 400A and bringing out the Duke range was the next turning point in their story. The King Air 350, however, is the most preferred aeroplane for short-haul transportation, where carrying ability and not speed, is required even today.
