King Air is the name for a line of twin-turboprop aircraft produced by the Beech Aircraft Corporation (now the Beechcraft Division of Raytheon Aircraft). The King Air has been in continuous production since 1964, the longest production run of any civilian turboprop aircraft. It has outlasted all of its previous competitors and as of 2006 is one of only two twin-turboprop business airplanes in production (the other is the Piaggio Avanti). As of 2006, there are three models in production: the small, conventional-tail C90GT; the mid-sized, T-tail B200; and the large, T-tail 350. Historically, the King Air family comprises a number of models that fall into four families, the Model 90 series, Model 100 series, Model 200 series and Model 300 series. In addition, two other aircraft series, the Beechcraft Model 99 and the Beechcraft 1900 were derived from the King Air family.
