Nextant G90XT Successfully Completes Test Flight Program

The company says its design criteria for the C90XT has focused on safe and effective single pilot operations. The RegentTM integrated flight deck will be the first to feature digitally controlled single-lever power management technology, which will not only reduce pilot workload, but also offers complete exceedance protection for the GE engine.
The H75-100 engines by GE create the foundation for operating cost benefits of the G90XT. The advanced turboprops feature exceptional fuel efficiency and are ultra-low-maintenance with a TBO of 4,000 hours and no requirement for a hot section or fuel nozzle inspection. The result is an engine that runs for years with a simplified maintenance program – extra good news for operators who are due for overhaul.
