What is your impression of the Beechcraft King Air 250 (BKA 250) flying out of Chester, United Kingdom? Well, for one, the first thing I think of from this photo the BKA 250 is speed. This plane looks fast, let alone that it is a multi engine turbo-prop plane. The BKA 250 looks to be a commercial aircraft with retractable landing gear creating less intended drag. This aircraft also has wingtip devices. These wingtips are designed to reduce the drag by channeling the wingtip vortex, creating less drag and more speed, which also in turn makes for a larger payload to be carried on the aircraft. What elso do you notice about this larger aircraft? Did you notice the whale tail on the the emmpennage? If you didn’t already know, the emmpennage is the rear controlling region of the aircraft. This is by far, the most essential and most important area of your aircraft, since this area performs about two thirds of your control of the aircraft. Anyways, the whale fin of the BKA 250 is also another piece to direct air travel and create less drag. Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) had announced that they would be selling these new Beechcraft King Air 250s back in April. HBC is one of the leading companies of the world in business, special mission, light attack, and trainer aircraft. Though I do have a few questions about this aircraft. Is this specific aircraft only flown in Europe at this moment or is it sold and flown all around the world? I mean I am enjoying what I hear about this new BKA 250 due to the new improvements on aerodynamics, visual, and takeoff performance while increasing speed, range, and climb. The Hawker Beechcraft Corporation seems to be a very large and well known company. If you are looking at different aircraft to either purchase of fly, I would suggest that you look into the HBC.
