The Textron Aviation SETP (Single Engine TurboProp) is a projected aircraft by Textron Aviation, announced at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015. It has a target range of more than 1,500 nm at more than 280 kt. The aircraft is a completely new design, not derived from any existing aircraft of Textron subsidiaries Beechcraft and Cessna.[1]
It should compete with the Pilatus PC-12 and Daher-Socata TBM, as well as other new projects such as the One Aviation Kestrel K-350 and the CAIGA Primus 150.[2]
In November 2015, GE Aviation announced its General Electric Advanced Turboprop had been selected to power the 12 passenger craft.[3]
