The Beechcraft King Air 250 represents the ultimate refinement of the iconic 200 series, blending rugged versatility with cutting-edge performance upgrades. Introduced in 2011, the 250 incorporated composite winglets, new lightweight composite propellers, and a ram air recovery system, all of which worked together to deliver superior efficiency, faster climbs, and improved short-field performance. These advancements made the King Air 250 the most capable and modern turboprop in the King Air 200 lineage.
WHY THE KING AIR 250 STANDS OUT
Enhanced Aerodynamic and Propeller Performance
The addition of composite winglets reduced drag and improved climb capability, while the Raisbeck-designed composite swept blade propellers provided smoother, quieter operation and better fuel efficiency. Combined, these aerodynamic improvements gave the King Air 250 an edge in speed, climb performance, and operating economy.
Ram Air Recovery System
The inclusion of a ram air recovery system allowed the engines to deliver full rated power even in high and hot operating conditions, significantly improving takeoff and climb performance. For operators flying from challenging airfields, this system was a game-changer in maintaining dependable power output.
Improved Runway Performance
Thanks to the winglets, composite props, and ram air recovery system, the King Air 250 achieved notably shorter takeoff distances compared to earlier 200-series aircraft. This enhanced runway performance meant greater access to shorter strips and high-altitude airports, expanding mission capability for corporate and special-use operators alike.
Advanced Avionics
When introduced, the King Air 250 came standard with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, featuring three large LCD displays for enhanced situational awareness and simplified pilot workload. In 2016, the platform transitioned to the Pro Line Fusion avionics suite, offering touchscreen control, synthetic vision, and advanced navigation tools—further elevating safety and operational efficiency.
Refined Cabin Comfort
The 250 retained the signature square-oval cabin cross-section of the King Air family, with club seating for up to nine passengers and an aft lavatory. Combined with modern acoustic insulation and the smoother ride delivered by composite props, the cabin provides a quiet, comfortable environment for passengers on both short hops and medium-range flights.
