The TBM 700 was designed to offer the owner–pilot fast, safe turboprop transportation. The aircraft was certificated in 1990 and is powered by a single Pratt & Whitney PT6A- 64 turboprop engine. The engine is de-rated from 1,570 shp to 700 shp.
The cabin seats four in club arrangement, with a fifth seat next to the pilot. The selling points of this aircraft are its speed and low cost. The range is also suitable for its cabin as no lavatory is available.
