King Air 100
The King Air 100 series was announced on the 23rd of May 1969. Compared with the 90 series it was 1.27m (4ft 2in) longer, allowing greater seating capacity, and featured a reduced wing span and larger rudder. Later 100-series models included the A100, a military version, and the B100, which featured 715 shp Garrett AiResearch TPE-331 engines as a result of Pratt and Whitneys inability to provide engines. The 100 series was discontinued in 1984. The Model 99 series was based on the Model 100 airframe.
