Turbine Baron
For those misguided individuals among you who believe a Baron is the bees knees.
http://www.rocketengineering.com/doc...ss_Release.pdf Enjoy :zzz: |
Now that's what i call rocket science. Very cool indeed...
But ... does it worth the additional price tag? |
Don't know abut a turbine Baron, but a turbine Duke, now that would be a machine...:ok:
|
The P-Baron turbine conversion will replace the B-58P’s original Lycoming 520 piston engines |
I would have thought the turbine Bonanza or esp the turbine Malibu/Mirage a better bet!:ok:
|
HH, tinnie posted a piccie of a turbine Duke here about 12 months or so ago. Absolutely beautiful. :ok: As usual, a company in the US doing the conversions.:}
Most piston powered aircraft don't look good with a turbine but the Duke looked as though it was made for it. Sex with wings it was.;) |
|
|
Yeah that's the one. :ok: I'm in lust all over again. :}
|
:ok:Where do i get a job flying one of them ?:ok:
|
That's just gone to the top of my aircraft wish list, pure sex on wings!:ok:

The old Duke were nice even with a boat mooring on each wing
That lil bugga would be barber poled all the time I reckon. |
"The ROYAL Turbine"
|
I don't know the price, but I reckon it would take more than your average lotto win to be able to afford one!:{
|
What do ya reckon "HH"? we do all the 'granny' runs in one of those turbine dukes? Have to be walkers only though:ok:
What a sexy beast with looks to kill, with enough money in hand one could almost forget the saying ."if it flies, floats or F***s then rent it":E The only thing I don't like about any Beech is they stayed with the column sticking out of the panel like the smaller simple SE planes. Now had they had a column from floor level that would have made them look/feel like a real mini airliner. The PA42 got it right in that department & even the AC50. CW |

You will not! All the Dukes i came across with operated by owner/pilots. It is a bit of a personal get there quick sort of private toy. It is like buying a Lamborghini and hire someone to drive it. Very cosy interior, similar to a Baron. The last time i flew one it took me good 10 minutes to get in the cockpit and get comfortable and i am only 6 feet. Once you are in there you do not want to get out though...:) Love the thing.... it's a Beechcraft :cool: :ok: |
True love.
|
A duke has a face only a mother could love :cool:
Kind of reminds me of the stubby nose 310 |
Ah...
One of those who only watches the mantle while stroking the fire...... |
