Eads/Socata Tbm 850

The Socata TBM 850 is an executive transport and civil utility aircraft, with a single turboprop engine. The concept of the original TBM 700 model was based on a former low-powered prototype, the Mooney 301. The French companies Mooney and Socata had begun co-developing a new design based on the Mooney 301, drafting a plan for an augmented turboprop aircraft, with great focus on speed, reliability and performance. The concept was perfected towards the end of the 1980’s, designated as the TBM 700. The higher-performance Socata TBM 850 (this is the production name for the TBM 700N), is an improved version of the aircraft. Utilising a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-66D engine, during cruise flight the power can be increased to 850 shp; providing the aircraft with a higher cruising speed, especially at high altitudes. The outside appearance of the TBM 850 has not been through any major changes from the standard TBM 700.
