The Beechcraft B58-P Baron is one of the best platforms for the PT6A turbine engine conversion. Baron owners love their aircraft, the Beechcraft quality, and they deserve the performance, economy, reliability and service that Northwest Turbine, LLC offers with Pratt & Whitney PT6A-21 engines.
Since 1990, Rocket Engineering - the modification company - has STC'd and converted over 200 Mooney aircraft with 300+ hp Continental engines. In the last twelve years, we have converted an additional 200+ PA46 Malibu/Mirage and B36TC Bonanza aircraft with Pratt & Whitney PT6A engines. Our STC experience with past projects, coupled with continuing upgrades to current product lines, has enabled our company to develop the expertise to install PT6A-21 engines in this Beechcraft aircraft, all the while maintaining Beechcraft's exceptionally high quality standards.
The most frequently asked question concerning the conversion is "Why install turbine engines on a twin aircraft?" The answer is simple - The Pratt & Whitney PT6A-21 engines are several times more reliable and much more user friendly than the piston engines. They are high altitude, high performance engines with no heating nor shock cooling problems. They are no compromise engines.
The Beechcraft B58-P Baron is already an exceptional aircraft - The addition of turbine engines just makes it better!
