Seems like a very versatile Aircraft.


But 275kts max speed ?


Pretty slow really, many civil turboprops cruise much faster, Saab 2000 for example, 370 knots and at the top end the Avanti with a 400 kt cruise.


All that power and what looks like a very slippery shape you would think could do better.
