EPIC Performance Package Overview

The EPIC Performance Package for the King Air 90 series includes enhancements such as Swept Blade Turbofan Propellers, which provide greater thrust and reduced noise. The package is designed to improve operational flexibility, allowing for better performance in hot and high conditions, and can be installed individually or as a complete package.

Takeoff Performance Improvements

The document details significant improvements in takeoff performance for the C90GTx. For instance, the takeoff distance over a 50-foot obstacle at maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) is reduced from 3,240 feet to 1,980 feet with the EPIC package. Additionally, the accelerate-go distance is improved from 4,390 feet to 3,110 feet, showcasing the enhanced capabilities of the aircraft.

Landing Performance Enhancements

Landing performance is also improved with the EPIC package. The landing distance without prop reverse decreases from 2,510 feet to 2,100 feet, and with prop reverse, it reduces from 2,350 feet to 1,600 feet. These enhancements contribute to safer and more efficient landing operations.

Cruise Performance

The cruise RPM is reduced from 1,900 RPM to 1,750 RPM, allowing for quieter operations and potentially improved fuel efficiency during cruise flight. This reduction in RPM contributes to a more comfortable experience for passengers and crew.

Weight and Payload Capacity

The maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) for the C90GTx is increased to 10,500 pounds, allowing for greater payload capacity. This increase in weight capability enhances the aircraft's operational flexibility and range.

KING AIR 90 SERIES EPIC PERFORMANCE PACKAGE for the Beechcraft KING AIR 90 SERIES DELIVERING A NEW LEVEL OF EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE WHAT’S IN THE 90 EPIC PERFORMANCE PACKAGE? Swept Blade Turbofan Propellers Dual Aft Body Strakes Crown Wing Lockers (optional) Enjoy improved performance and operational flexibility with Raisbeck’s EPIC Performance Package for the King Air 90 series. No matter the mission, operators can enjoy quieter operations with reduced climb and cruise RPM, increased payload, fuel and range capabilities from shorter runways and hot-high scenarios. Our Performance Enhancement Systems can be installed individually or combined in an EPIC Performance Package, saving aircraft owners up to 11.5% over our separate System pricing. Available for all C90 and E90 King Airs, Raisbeck Swept Blade Propellers deliver greater thrust with less noise and vibration while presenting a stunning ramp presence. Made of high-strength aluminum forgings, our Swept Blade Propellers offer weight savings compared to factory-installed propellers, with a 6-year/4,000 hours TBO. Pilots report increased acceleration as well as shorter takeoffs and landings. Factory installed on all new C90Gtx and 350 King Airs, Raisbeck Dual Aft Body Strakes significantly improve directional stability, enhancing passenger comfort, pilot control and aircraft handling qualities. Decreased drag results in better climb and cruise performance, along with reduced Air Minimum Control Speed. Raisbeck Crown Wing Lockers can carry 600 pounds of total cargo in 17 cubic feet of external storage space, thereby reducing cabin clutter and saving wear-and-tear on interior surfaces. FAA-certified for Part 135 operations, our Lockers easily accommodate skis, snowboards, golf bags, fishing gear and luggage.
