This early version of the King Air family comes equipped with PT6A engines and boasts a maximum reach of 1000 nautical miles (1852 km). Its spacious cabin seats six to ten passengers, depending on the configuration. The King Air 100 can take off from runways as short as 3,200 feet (975 m). The baggage compartment features 60 cubic feet (1.7 m³) of space, just enough for 10 bags of 10 kg each. With its pressurized and relatively quiet cabin (thanks to the four-blade propeller), the King Air 100 is an ideal choice for rapid commuter transport.
