New Denali Single-Engine Turboprop Achieves First Flight
The Beechcraft Denali, Textron’s all-new single-engine turboprop aircraft, entered the flight-testing phase at the end of 2021 with the completion of its maiden flight on 23rd November from Textron Aviation’s west campus at Eisenhower International Airport, Wichita.

The aircraft flew out over Cheney Lake accompanied by a Cessna Citation chase aircraft. Powered by GE Aviation’s new Catalyst engine, the Denali prototype took off at approximately 8:20 a.m. for its 2-hour, 50-minute first flight.
Following the flight Ron Draper, president and CEO, Textron Aviation, commented: “Today’s landmark flight is not only a significant occasion for the Denali, it’s a truly great moment for our employees, our suppliers and the customers who will be flying this aircraft.”
Fuel Efficiency
Draper added: “With its more environmentally friendly engine and largest cabin in its class, this is an aircraft that will change the landscape for high-performance single-engine turboprop aircraft. [This] flight is just the beginning for what we anticipate will be a long list of important accomplishments as we prepare the aircraft for certification and customer deliveries.”
Textron Aviation said that the team “tested the aircraft’s performance, stability and control, as well as its propulsion, environmental, flight controls and avionics systems. The aircraft reached an altitude of 15,600 feet and attained speeds of 180 knots.”
Test Pilot Approval
“From the beginning of the flight to the end, the Denali was simply flawless,” said Peter Gracey, Textron Aviation senior test pilot, who took the aircraft on its first sortie with chief test pilot Dustin Smisor.
“It’s just a great aircraft to fly. The Catalyst engine was outstanding, and the aircraft performed to the levels we were anticipating… We are really off to an excellent start for the Denali flight test program.” testing aircraft systems, engine, avionics and overall performance.”
The performance specification targets a cruise speeds of 285 knots and full fuel payload of 1,100 pounds, and a range of 1,600 nautical miles at high-speed cruise (with one pilot and four passengers) — which will allow the Denali to fly from Los Angeles to Chicago, New York to Miami, or London to Moscow. Garmin Cockpit
A First for Catalyst too…
The cockpit features the Garmin G3000 avionics suite with high-resolution displays and touchscreen controllers. An integrated Garmin autothrottle is a standard feature, interfacing with the Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) and Flight Management System (FMS) “to provide easy speed control throughout all regimes of flight from take-off to touchdown.”
The Denali represents the first application for GE’s new Catalyst engine, which Textron Aviation describes as “a more sustainable engine that burns up to 20 percent less fuel than older turboprop technologies.” It adds that the FADEC-equipped, 1,300 shaft horsepower (SHP)-rated turboprop engine “eases pilot workload with its single-lever power and propeller control.” This is ground-breaking as the Pratt & Whitney PT6 engine has long been the dominant powerplant in this sector. The Denali is also equipped with McCauley’s new 105inch diameter composite, 5-blade, constant-speed propeller, which is full feathering with reversible pitch and ice protection. Quick-Change Cabin The Denali’s flat-floor cabin is designed to be allow easy conversion between passenger and cargo configurations. The passenger configuration features a standard seating of six individual reclining seats, although there is a nine-place high-density seating option available too. “Passengers will also enjoy large cabin windows, a forward refreshment cabinet and an in-flight accessible baggage compartment,” said Textron. “An optional externally serviceable belted lavatory in the rear of the cabin is also available.”

Savback Helicopters Hires New Head of Sales, UK & Ireland
Savback Helicopters has announced another addition to its sales team, engaging Stephen Mitchell as its Head of Sales for the UK and Ireland.
Stephen joins Commercial Director Rick Andrew, and both will be based at the company’s newly opened facilities at the Nottingham Heliport, UK.
Stephen brings 25 years of experience in civil aviation sales to Savback. Following 12 years’ service in the Royal Air Force, he began a career in helicopter sales, specialising in transacting Robinson and Leonardo Helicopters. This included 17 years with Sloane Helicopters.
Following this, Stephen gained experience in both business jet and commercial airline sales in cooperation with Aura Aviation and JetBrokers. With an additional seven years of experience in the primary aviation markets, he brings a deep understanding of how the fixed wing and rotary markets complement each other.
“Savback Helicopters has an impressive history with many years’ experience selling new and pre-owned helicopters globally, and I am excited to join the team,” said Mitchell. “The recent announcement of Savback’s new UKbased customer facility and its appointment as sole distributor for new production helicopters covering the UK regions makes it a formidable presence in the UK.”
Reja Savbäck, CEO of Savback Helicopters, said: “We are very proud to add such a well-known name to the team. Stephen’s experience and impressive background from both helicopter and fixed wing sales will be truly valuable for the company and its long-term expansion plans. This addition allows us to build an even more solid foundation in the UK and Ireland.” www.savback.com
