- An extensive effort for an all-new turbine-powered executive transport was undertaken in 1962. Improved performance is often given as a reason for the desirability of such an aircraft, but low weight, low maintenance costs, and high reliability are important tangible considerations. Paper discusses how these factors eventually led to the development of the King Air.
