 - February 17, 2016, 1:55 PM

Piper Aircraft (Stand T75) is here promoting its line of single- and twin-engine aircraft for private pilots and flying schools. Piper’s most recent products are the M series of upgraded piston and turboprop singles (formerly the PA-46 series), which were introduced last April.

The M series starts at $1.1 million and ranges upward to a little less than $3 million for a fully loaded top-of-the-line model. Capping the M series, the Piper M600 turboprop is powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42A turboprop flat-rated to 600 shp. The pressurized single can carry up to six people at a maximum cruise speed of 260 knots; max range is 1,300 nm with 45 minutes’ reserve.
