The Daher TBM 910 is a high-performance, pressurized single-engine turboprop positioned in the very fast turboprop category, offering jet-like speeds with turboprop efficiency. Introduced in 2017 as an evolution of the TBM 900, the 910 retained the proven airframe and Pratt & Whitney PT6A-66D engine while incorporating a major avionics upgrade: Garmin’s G1000 NXi integrated flight deck. This enhancement delivered faster processing, improved situational awareness, and wireless connectivity, marking a significant step forward in cockpit technology.
The TBM lineage began with the TBM 700 in 1990, progressing through the TBM 850 and TBM 900 before the 910’s debut. Production of the TBM 910 continued until 2023, when Daher shifted focus to the TBM 960. Throughout its run, the 910 maintained the family’s hallmark performance: maximum cruise speed of 330 KTAS, range up to 1,730 NM, and a service ceiling of 31,000 ft. It requires approximately 2,380 ft for takeoff and climbs to FL310 in under 20 minutes, making it ideal for accessing smaller airports while covering continental distances efficiently.
Powered by an 850 shp PT6A-66D engine and a five-blade Hartzell composite propeller, the TBM 910 offers a maximum takeoff weight of 7,394 lbs and a useful load of about 2,400 lbs. The cabin accommodates six passengers in a club-four configuration plus two forward seats, featuring luxury finishes, air conditioning, and optional amenities such as an enclosed lavatory. Cabin volume is approximately 123 cu ft, optimized for comfort within a compact footprint.
For operators, the TBM 910 delivers exceptional mission flexibility—combining light jet speeds with operating costs roughly one-third lower than comparable alternatives like the Pilatus PC-12. Its ability to perform short-field operations, coupled with advanced safety systems and low direct operating costs, makes it a compelling solution for owner-pilots and corporate flight departments seeking efficiency without sacrificing performance.
