Meet Piper’s new cabin-class airplanes.

The M350 comes equipped with an enhanced version of Garmin’s G1000 suite, which features several new enhanced safety features including automatic descent in the case of hypoxia incapacitation.

The M350 is priced at $1.15 million, in comparison to the standard Piper Mirage which currently sells for $1.1 million.

Piper’s most notable new product is the M600, which brings enhanced range and payload over the standard Meridian.

The improvements stem from a newly designed wing and a 600 sph Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A engine.

The M600’s cabin brings enhancements too. Improvements included enhanced passenger side panels and additional color options.

The M350 and M600 come just a few months after Piper unveiled the Meridian M500, shown here.

The Meridian M500’s Garmin G1000 suite brings a number of safety features, including Garmin’s Electronic Stability Protection. See more of the M500 here.
