The new TBM 900 is set to become the company's sole model hree years ago, in the utmost secrecy, Daher-Scota gave its design office a challenge: look at how to improve on the TBM 850. No need to start from scratch when you already have a high-performance aeroplane which is loved by its pilots and owners, and which continues to enjoy healthy sales. The result is the new TBM 900. And while the name doesn't mean that the engine develops 900hp, its performance in comparison with the TBM 850 might make you think otherwise, as we shall see. Despite regular visits to the factory in Tarbes, in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the secret was well kept Everyone thought that Daher-Socata was working on a completely different aircraft It was evaluating the prototype Grab SPn composite business iet, and had recruited Christophe Robin, DAHER 3648479300503/NVF/ART/3 the founder of DynAero, known for his creative talent and mastery of composite materials, which he had demonstrated when manufacturing lighter aircraft We knew that the jet evaluation had served only to confirm that it was not the path to go down, but that was about it So on 6 March we were quite taken aback to discover that a team of 125 people had worked on a very different project: improving the TBM 850 to make it a more efficient and spectacular aircraft on several levels, namely performance, handling, noise and carbon footprint It's tempting to make a comparison with the Airbus A320neo (New Engine Option), which bums less fuel, pollutes less and flies further than its predecessor.

(cm²) : 3055 Page 2/11 IBM 900, but where Airbus used new engines, Daher Socata kept the same 850hp PT6A-66D and concentrated on the aerodynamics Trie IBM design dates back more than 30 years and could certainly be improved Today, 3D CAD modelling and computational fluid dynamics programs have largely taken the guesswork out of aircraft design The computers were let loose on the TBM to check the aerodynamic choices of the past New parts were created from composite materials, with complex and precise shapes, and finally the results were checked by extensive flight testing using five synchronised GoPro cameras to film tufts of wool, which make the aerodynamic flows visible To sum up over three years work in a few lines the changes have focused on anything that could be improved aerodynamically The result is an aeroplane that even non-experts can see is different from the 850 There's a modem Hartzell five-blade propeller, and everything from the propeller back to the firewall has been redesigned to optimise the efficiency of the air intake and cooling There's a new inertial separator, straighter exhaust outlets, double mam-gear doors, winglets whose profile is copied in the filet that blends the fuselage to the tail and a new tail cone With the exception of the exhausts all of the new parts are made from carbon fibre At the same time, Daher has reviewed the ergonomics of the aeroplane, interviewing owners to find out what they would like corrected, starting from the principle that the simpler the aircraft, engine and avionics are to use, the better it will be for everyone This is partculaily true for the TBM, which is generally flown by its instrument-rated private pilot owner rather than d hired professional The work focused on all aircraft systems and some improvements are DAHER 3648479300503/NVF/ART/3 Eléments de recherche : Presse étrangère truly spectacular Pressunsation is now totally automatic, there is auto-start for the PT6 and a torque limiter to prevent inadvertent damage from a moment's inattention A 300 amp generator replaces its 200 amp predecessor and if it fails there's a 100 amp standby alternator that keeps all the aircraft systems running - including de-iong The cockpit has also been improved The bottom of the panel has been redesigned giving more knee room for larger pilots, there are new controls on the yokes and the centre console now has just one engine control The Carmin C1000 software has been reprogrammed in order to simplify engine management, and all controls, buttons and switches have been redesigned and modernised, from the landing-gear selector to the LED landing-light switch and the circuit breaker panel And as the devil is in the detail, two USB ports have been added to connect the indispensable iPads Note to all aircraft designers from microlights up ifs time to include USB charging ports1 Speed and simplicity When I learnt of the tremendous work done, I was very interested even before seeing the new machine and a little ashamed at having missed so many dues With hindsight this change was so predictable, especially when you know that Nicolas Chabbert, Director of Date's Aircraft Division, worked at Mooney when the small Texan manufacturer developed its Ovation2 from the M20 As I arn known by the factory to be a long-standing admirer of the TBM, I was privileged to be invited to a confidential presentation of the new aircraft a week before its official unveiling How can I not be an admirer when I have engraved in my mind the 01/05/2014 FLYER (PRESSE D'ANGLETERRE) Surface approx. (cm²) : 3055 Page 3/11 memory of a takeoff at 7am from Le Bourge! in a IBM 700, and an arrival in Dallas the same night! Without any particular preparation, without ferry tanks and with the inevitable delays for Customs clearance in America. What other single-engine aircraft could fly 4,616nm with four stops in less than 24 hours? Now, Nicolas Chabbert had arranged for me to take the controls of the 900. He placed me in the hands of Chief Test Pilot, Stephane Jacques, a friendly and modest man who gives no due to his nipressK/e background as a fighter pilot and ulitary test pilot. We began by walking around the 900, and as the aeroplane was parked next to an 850, the drag-reducing modifications stood out The aircraft has always looked superb, but now pven more so with its new winglets. According to itephane, the winglets, which r_. Jrag without increasing the wingspan, have no neasurable effect on stall speed but improve limb and cruise performance. In addition they ,:nprove handling. On a turboprop (or any powerful single) in a . rosswind the propwash affects one wing more than !'if> other when vni i are sliDpine. With flaps don". !' gives a fairly strong rolling effect This can be countered by increased dihedral but regular dihedral has various other drawbacks notably Dutch roll at altitude The winglets increase the dihedral effect, allowing greater power to be used wrth the flaps down and tanmg the behaviour in a slipping approach The limitation to 700hp in the 850 was because of this effect The winglets allow the increase to 850 with flaps down Another important novelty is the disappearance of power limiter The TBM 850 could only use 700hp for take-off In the 900 full power can be used with a torque limiter active throughout the flight envelope and once settled in the owner's seat I notice that the power limiting control has gone Even better there is now just one engine control in place of the previous three It's pretty dever with an H-shaped gnll enabling it to act as both the fuel condition lever and a combined power and propeller pitch control Accord ng to Stephane Jacques, on the first flight you ll be sceptical on the second you know you ll know to use it by the third, you will have adopted it fully There is of course a manual fuel override control in case of an unlikely failure of the PT6's fuel control unrt Engine starting is simplified thanks to a starter which cuts out automatically and becomes a generator The p lot now just has to check there is enough electric power for the start use the single engine lever to turn on the fuel at 13°/o Ng and monitor ITT which should not exceed 870° With a warm engine I recorded a peak of 734°C With 226usg of fuel on board or 856 litres out of the 1 086 litre capacity, it also meant that we were not particularly light DAHER 3648479300503/NVF/ART/3 Stephane Jacques then reminded me of two speeds to keep in mind 85 KIAS for rotation and final approach, and 120 KIAS for the climb, best glide and holding With these speeds you can do anything, he said* There s also another reason not to worry The pilot no longer needs to think about pressunsation The system sets itself based on the field elevation of the destination set in the FMS flight plan Simplicity itself1 Performance and price Our flight began with a dimb to FL310 at Vy or 124 KIAS monitoring power to maintain 100% torque at all times Starting from Tarbes which is at 1 260ft, we passed FL70 after three minutes then PL 100 a minute-and a half later and reached FL200 after 9min ISsec, still with 100% torque from K220 power started to decline gradually and we finally reached FL310 in 15min 45sec wrth a maximum torque of 89°/o This was a remarkable result, even if we cheated a bit with a head start at take-off Starting from sea level at gross weight, the POH gives a time 18min 45sec to FL310 in ISA temperatures a 4% improvement compared to the TBM 850 and 21 mm 45sec in ISA + 20° which is a significant 16°/o improvement. Fuel burn averages 60usg per flight hour With a 6psi pressure differential our cabin altitude was 9 800ft at FL310 Next, 1 wanted to check the maximum cruise speed at the certified ceiling of FL310 With 91 % torque set (you gain a little power with speed from the ram effect) I recorded 325 KTAS with a fuel flow of 58 3usg Thaf s 7% faster than a TBM 850 At the recommended power setting of 85°/3 torque we saw 316 KTAS for d consumption of just under 56usg per hour still 7% better than the 850 Finally, 1 set long range power of 50% torque and saw a speed of 260 KTAS for 38usg per hour At this setting, we could have flown for five hours before running out of fuel In still air you can therefore now fly from Reykjavik in Iceland to Goose Bay in Canada non-stop and land with a 1 20 fuel reserve That opens up some interesting possibilities1 Whether ffs a coincidence or not the performance increase is matched by a 6% price increase The TBM 900 costs S3 71 m compared to S3 5m for the 850 And the 850 is no longer a choice by the time you read this the TBM 900 will be Socata s only model We descended gently down to FL290 the best level to get the promised speed of 330 KTAS Thanks to the torque limiter you no longer need to monitor the over-torque warning in descents Once level wrth the maximum torque of 96% I got 328 KTAS Unusually the weather conditions were preasery ISA. Stephane Mayer President and CEO of Daher Socata, had told me excitedly about getting 331 KTAS I will put the insgnrfcant difference down to me being a little heavier than Stephane1 We then earned out an emergency descent which would be necessary in the event of a pressunsation Eléments de recherche : Presse étrangère failure or a fire To check the chances of survival I asked Stephane Jacques to put on his emergency oxygen mask it took him less than 10 seconds Once the masks are on just pull the power lever all the way back, roll sharply to one side and let the nose drop until the speed reaches the Vmo of 266 KIAS The result is an impressive 8 OOOfpm descent and we are back in breathable air within two minutes On a previous flight with Nicolas Chabbert in IBM 850 Bite, he showed me how this very fast aircraft could fry comfortably at just 80 KIAS, even in 30* turns. I was happy with slow flight, but Stephane Jacques suggested we try some state. At dimb paver, pulling the nose up to 25* and working a little with the rudder and ailerons to keep the wings level and the ball centred, we stalled at just 61 KIAS helped by the slipstream effect of the engine. At idte power, clean, the stall came at 78 KIAS. In landing configuration, once again die stall came at 61 KIAS. There was no drama to the stalls, and the aircraft resumes normal flight if you release the controls. I also wanted to check the efficiency of the torque limiter, gradually pushing the power lever foavard at low attitude. Power rose to 108°/o, and no further. Power above 100%) might seem surprising, but it is allowed because this powerful turboprop is de-rated from 1,825hp down to just 850hp, and the special alloys used in its turbine Pactes will withstand high temperatures. Before returning to Tarbes we flew some lazy rights, just for fun! On this fine winter's day there was a strong contrast between the welcoming immensity of the deep blue sky and the sharp white teeth of tht Pyrenees, each alternately filling the screen as we played. Finally, I earned out a couple of reasonable landings wrth go-arounds. That allowed me to confirm that the approach was simple if you set power to 18°/o torque and leave it there, without worrying too much about the speed, which varies between 85 and 90 KIAS. If you touch the power in 01/05/2014 FLYER (PRESSE D'ANGLETERRE) Surface approx. (cm²) : 3055 Page 4/11 an effort to be more precise, you will end up chasing the airspeed indicator. The first landing was a little firm as I flared slightly high, but not too bad The go-around was easy, despite the torque effect one might expert from the 850hp. Waiting for us on the ramp at Tarbes were Nicolas iiabbert and my German friend Dr Birgit Hutz, the i 'resident of the European Mooney Pilots and Owners Association (EMPOA). Micolas had wanted her to be part of this very special day. It took quite a white to come down to earth after the flight, and there was so much to talk about As we chatted, Stephane Jacques explained the philosophy behind the project: "Every irritant that could be removed... well we've removed it!" I was already a TBM enthusiast so to be objective .vill leave the last words to Birgit the pilot-owner of a .iooney Ovafon2 who sent me this email once she .wived back in Germany Thursday was a great day for me, I am so happy i could fly this fantastic aeroplane. It was the first turbine I've flown, as well as bang the fastest and highest I've ever flown. You can feel its power and performance. I was astonished how easy and how much fun it is to fly. It combines both a fast aeroplane to get from A to B, and an aeroplane that you can have fun with, and because it is 'handy' so you can play with it in the air. It also has such an ergonomic design. And besides its performance, ifs fun. it handles beautifully and it looks great inside and out I wish this TBM a lot of success!'

First deliveries of the aircraft the latest evolution of the 25-year-old TBM design - were made to three customers in the USA and Europe on 20 March. The TBM 900 replaces the; TBM 850, which was introduced in 2006 as a revamped and re-engined version of the original TBM 700 series. nahpr-Snraia airplane business unit senior vice-president Nicolas Chabbert says it has delivered 662 TBMs in total 324 700s and 338 850s. He says the company had been looking to improve the 850 prior to its acquisition in 2009 by French aerostructures manufacturer Daher. Development of the TBM 900 has been kept firmly under wraps, however. Flight testing of the technology for the new variant began in late 2010 from its Tarbes headquarters using a modified TBM 700 test aircraft. The second and third test aircraft were manufactured from scratch, however. In total the trio have flown 215h, culminating in US and European certification in December 2014. The $3.7 million TBM 900 retains considerable commonality DAHER 0843279300507/NVF/ADC/3 The TBM 900 includes a number of aerodynamic modifications with its predecessor, including the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66D powerplant. However, it offers improved efficiency and performance thanks to aerodynamic modifications including winglets, a vertical tail-fin stroke and a new tail cone. Top cruise speed is increased by lOkt (19km/h) to 330kt at 28,000ft (8,530m) and maximum range is extended by more than 300nm (560km) to l,730nm thanks to a reduction in fuel consumption to 140 litres per hour. Single-control throttle operalion and a new torque limiter enable the use of full power BSOhp (634kW) - at take-off, reducing ground roll even in hotand-high conditions. The TBM 900 has a new fiveblade composite propeller and redesigned spinner. It has also Eléments de recherche : Presse étrangère ' ! | j j undergone a nose-to-firewall redesign to improve engine airflow circulation. The cockpit gets a new control yoke and centre pedestal. The display panel has been redesigned for increased visibility and interaction with secondary system controls. Chabbert acknowledges the turboprop sector has been hit by the downturn. Annual deliveries of the TBM 850 fell from a peak of 60 aircraft in 2008 to 36 the following year. "The market is shifting. Last year we delivered 40 aircraft and we have 40 orders already for the TBM 900," he says. Demand for the aircraft is expected to come from existing TBM owners, operators of other single-engined turboprop types, high-performance piston twins and singles, and very light and entry level jets. • 01/04/2014 AIR INTERNATIONAL (PRESSE D'ANGLETERRE) Surface approx.

The aircraft received both FAA and EASA approval before it was publicly unveiled. Wmglets, a new tailcone and a five-blade composite propeller with redesigned spinner distinguish the TBM 900 externally from its predecessors. From the nose to the firewall the aircraft has been redesigned to improve engine airflow circulation, through use of a banana-shaped air intake, carbon-fiber cowlings and new exhaust stacks The new aircraft retains the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A66D engine found on the TBM 850, as well as its Garmm G1000 avionics suite Daher-Socata said customers have been happy with the 850's Garmm glass cockpit, so it decided to retain the system in the 900. However, the cockpit does include several "enhanced human-machine interface features," including an ergonomic control yoke and a revised cockpit center pedestal that incorporates single-lever power control. Other new features include a revamped electrical system with a 300-amp starter generator, which provides a semi-automatic start-up, and 100-amp standby alternator In addition, the TBM 900 has lower cabin noise lev- DAHER 4647989300507/NVF/AVH/2 els than its predecessor, an automated pressunzation system and new-design seats Compared with its predecessor, the TBM 900 has a top cruise speed that is 10 knots faster, 330 knots at FL280, and maximum range with five passengers and a 45-mmute reserve has been extended to 1,730 nm from 1.585 nm thanks to reduced fuel consumption of 37 gallons per hour Since the TBM 900 can use all of the available 850 shp of engine power on takeoff, compared with 700 shp on the TBM 850, the aircraft's sea-level ground roll is reduced to 2,380 feet, down by 460 feet. Meanwhile, an improved climb rate takes the new model to its 31,000-foot ceiling in 18 minutes 45 seconds, about two minutes more quickly than the TBM 850 The TBM 900 was developed on the quiet during a three-year development program that included 200 hours of flight-testing. In fact, it was so secretive that customers were told of the new aircraft only three weeks before the official March 12 unveiling, and those who placed orders did so without seeing it Despite giving only basic performance data and the selling price ($3 7 million), the company took orders for 40 TBM 900s before the aircraft was publicly unveiled First delivery to launch customer Larry Glazer-who owns Rochester, N.Y.-based commercial/industrial real-estate developer Buckingham Properties and is president of the TBM Owners and Pilots Associationtook place on March 20 dur- Eléments de recherche : Presse étrangère ing the TBM 900's formal U.S. debut at an event in Polk City, Fia Glazer has logged more than 5,000 hours in TBMs over the past 20 years, starting with TBM 700 S/N 9 in 1994 and then upgrading to a non-glass cockpit TBM 850 in 2008. He had already been in contact with Daher-Socata to upgrade to a GlOOO-equipped TBM 850, so Glazer didn't hesitate to say yes when Daher-Socata president and CEO Stephane Mayer called him to ask if he wanted to be first in line for the new model.
