On the heels of Piper’s introduction of the Meridian M500 earlier this year, the company on Monday unveiled two additional models to its M-class lineup, the M350 and the Garmin G3000-equipped M600, at an event attended by hundreds of customers and dealers.

In addition to its touchscreen G3000 avionics, the big news with the M600 is that it brings improved performance thanks to its clean-sheet wing design and Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A 600 shp engine. The new turboprop features a max range of 1,300 nm and a max payload of 1,200 pounds, a significant increase over the standard Meridian.
