The is a twin engined light aircraft produced by
Beechcraft (now
Raytheon ) in several different versions from the sixties to the seventies. Based upon the
Twin Bonanza , with which it shared key components such as wings, engines, and tail surfaces, but featuring a larger fuselage, it served as the basis for the highly successful
King Air series of turboprop aircraft. It is often used as a private aircraft, a utility, or a small commuter airliner. Production would run for the best part of two decades.
