Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.

Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History

  1. 1978First flight
  2. 1979FAA certification
  3. 1979 - Lançado em 1979 como tentativa de C90 premium com T-tail

    A Beech Aircraft certificou o King Air F90 em 1979 como tentativa de criar uma versão premium do C90, combinando a fuselagem curta da família 90 com a empennage T-tail do King Air 200 (introduzido em 1974) e motores PT6A-135 de 750 SHP. A intenção era oferecer performance superior em climb, teto operacional e velocidade sem o custo de aquisição do B200. Vendas foram modestas: apenas 235 unidades em 7 anos de produção, contra mais de 1.500 B200 no mesmo período.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

Performance superior ao C90 contemporâneo

Com motores PT6A-135 de 750 SHP (vs. 550 SHP do E90), o F90 entrega rate of climb de 2.380 fpm (vs. 1.870 fpm do E90), velocidade de cruzeiro de 272kt (vs. 248kt) e teto operacional de 31.000ft (vs. 28.100ft). Em missões hot-and-high ou de subida acima de 25.000ft para evitar tempo, o F90 é claramente superior ao C90/E90, apesar de ambos compartilharem a mesma cabine e MTOW similar.

Type rating BE-A90 compartilhado com C90 e B200

Apesar do T-tail e dos motores diferentes, o F90 é coberto pelo type rating BE-A90, o mesmo do C90 e B200. Pilotos podem transitar entre frotas com differences training simplificado, e operadores com mix de C90/F90/B200 mantêm pool único de pilotos. Isso compensa parcialmente o suporte mais limitado de peças do F90 vs. o C90 (que tem frota global mais numerosa).

Limitations

Apenas ~235 unidades produzidas, peças e suporte escassos

Com aproximadamente 235 unidades produzidas em 7 anos, o suporte de peças e componentes específicos do F90 (notadamente itens estruturais do T-tail e fairings da junção empennage-fuselagem) é limitado. Para frota civil ativa, isso significa downtime maior em ALPs e custo de manutenção crescente, especialmente após 40+ anos de operação. Operadores precisam apoiar-se em PMA e canibalização de aeronaves desativadas.

Custo de aquisição original elevado matou as vendas

Em 1980, o F90 era comercializado a aproximadamente USD 1,4 milhão, apenas 15-20% mais barato que um King Air B200 novo (USD 1,7M). Compradores percebiam pouco valor em pagar 'quase B200' por uma cabine de C90 com performance intermediária. A maioria preferiu pagar a diferença pelo B200 (cabine maior, melhor alcance) ou o C90 simples (custo menor). Esse posicionamento de preço foi o principal fator do baixo volume de vendas.

Curiosities

F90-1 (1983) trouxe PT6A-135A e melhorias incrementais

Em 1983 a Beech lançou o F90-1 com motores PT6A-135A (mais eficientes, mesma SHP), portas de cargo modificadas, novos painéis de cabine e atualizações estruturais menores. Foram apenas cerca de 33 unidades F90-1 antes da descontinuação em 1986. Hoje as F90-1 são as mais valorizadas no mercado usado pela melhor 'state-of-the-art' tecnológica entre as poucas unidades disponíveis, chegando a USD 1.5M em condição above-average.

1983↗ Beech Aircraft histórico / Wikipedia

T-tail é o distintivo visual mais marcante

Visualmente o F90 é facilmente identificável pela empennage T-tail, herdada do King Air 200, instalada sobre a fuselagem curta do C90. Esse mix de fuselagem pequena com T-tail alto cria uma silhueta única na linhagem King Air, e é parte da razão pela qual o F90 mantém status de 'colecionável' entre entusiastas e operadores boutique que valorizam a singularidade da aeronave.
