    Description
    Exceptionally clean, impeccably well-maintained B60 Duke with a very low-time airframe, Garmin GTX-345 Transponder (ADS-B out and ADS-B Traffic and Weather in), Garmin GNS-530W/430W (WAAS). 232 gallon fuel system. Paint and leather interior are in excellent condition. With her low-time, exceptionally clean and well-maintained airframe and excellent paint & interior, N449DL is an excellent choice for the Royal Turbine Duke conversion. Two Pratt & Whitney PT6A-35 turboprop engines turn the B60 airframe into a 284 KTAS cruiser, with a 2-engine climb rate of 3500 fpm, and a single-engine climb rate of 1600 fpm. She climbs better on one-engine than a King Air C90Gtx climbs on both engines. Required for the Royal Turbine Duke conversion are: 1) 232 Gallon fuel system (CHECK! N449DL's already got it) 2) BLR Winglets (CHECK! N449DL's already got them) 3) BLR Vortex Generators (CHECK! N449DL's already equipped with BLR VGs) 4) BLR Aft Body Strakes (Available for purchase direct from BLR)
