Key Takeaways:

Daher has delivered the first TBM 960 turboprop single to a customer in Germany, just three weeks after its U.S. debut.
The TBM 960 is equipped with a new Pratt & Whitney PT6E-66XT engine and a FADEC-style dual-channel digital control system (EPECS) for the engine and propeller.
These upgrades, along with a five-blade composite prop and existing HomeSafe autoland, enhance fuel efficiency, safety, and reduce operating costs through an extended engine TBO.
