The Allison 250-B17 gas turbine (as fitted in the Nomad) has also been installed in a number of
Turbine Beech Bonanzas in the USA - giving rather interesting performance - although the prop diameter appears to require an extended nose leg!
This will make Chuck's eyes water!
"A 300-hp Continental IO-550 A36 will finish its climb to altitude to 600 fpm, whereas the Turbines Bonanza will hold a 25-degree nose-high attitude while climbing at 2,500 fpm well above 10,000 feet."
