The Textron Aviation SETP (single engine turboprop) is a projected aircraft by Textron Aviation, envisioned at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015, with a range of more than 1,500 nm at more than 280 kt. Before its acquisition by Textron, Beechcraft had announced to develop such an airplane at the 2012 National Business Aviation Association Convention.[1]
It should compete with the Pilatus PC-12, Piper Meridian and Daher-Socata TBM, as well as other new projects like the One Aviation Kestrel K-350 and the CAIGA Primus 150.[2]
On 16 November 2015, GE Aviation announced its General Electric Advanced Turboprop was retained to power the 12 passenger craft.[3]
