Take the cabin from a C90 and the turbines and flight deck of the A100 — mix and stir — and it’s the
King Air E90 where the E stands for extra horsepower, extra speed, extra payload. Competition in the hotly contested twin-turboprop business-airplane market has intensified with the introduction of the Beechcraft King Air E90 by combining the range and performance of the King Air A100 with a smaller cabin. Cabin area of the E90 is the same as the C90 — four reclining chairs in club configuration, jump seat atop the refreshment compartment opposite the airstair doorway, and a jump-seat/lavatory combination aft of the door and adjacent to the 350-pound-capacity baggage area. The E90 perfectly fills the gap between the C90 and A100 by balancing power and range and giving the option to trade them off as necessary.
