The Textron Aviation SETP (Single Engine TurboProp)[nb 1] is a projected aircraft by Textron Aviation, announced at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015. It has a target range of more than 1,500 nm at more than 280 kt. The aircraft is a completely new design, not derived from any existing aircraft of Textron subsidiaries Beechcraft and Cessna.[2]
It should compete with the Pilatus PC-12 and Daher-Socata TBM, as well as other new projects such as the One Aviation Kestrel K-350 and the CAIGA Primus 150.[3]
In November 2015, GE Aviation announced its General Electric Advanced Turboprop, since named the GE93, had been selected to power the aircraft.[4]
On May 23, 2016 Textron announced the SETP performance and cabin details, cabin altitude should be 6,130 feet (1,870 m).[5] Its cabin is 58 inches (147 cm) tall and 63 inches (160 cm) wide with a flat floor, three inches wider than its closest competitor ; the 59 inches (150 cm) tall by 53 inches (135 cm) wide cargo door is larger than the PC-12's 53 inches (135 cm) tall by 52 inches (132 cm) wide.[1]
