Raytheon Aircraft is showing a German-registered Model 1900D turboprop in Executive configuration here. The aircraft includes an air ambulance component, pointing up the 1900D as a solution for "secure, efficient and flexible transport of management personnel and functional work teams throughout Europe."

The 1900D's 16-passenger Executive configuration features a 71-inch (180-cm) stand-up interior with custom features, including various amenities "for a comfortable work and travel environment." Beechcraft Berlin Aviation GmbH completed the interior.

Raytheon is selling 1900Ds primarily out of inventory now, having advised customers that new aircraft will be built only if paid for in advance.

"Excellent airport performance combined with low acquisition and operating costs and a spacious, versatile cabin make the 1900D an excellent choice as a corporate transport," Raytheon says. The 1900D can carry a payload of more than 4,000 pounds (1,814 kg) on a 500 nmi (926 km) trip in less than two hours, the company says.

It has "proved its reliability in especially harsh and difficult commuter routes," Raytheon says. It is further said to be the most popular 19-seat turboprop regional airliner in the world.

Spectrum Aeromed components impart special capabilities to the aircraft on display here. The air ambulance equipment is installed in the aft cabin area adjacent to the 1900D's large cargo door.

The Aeromed unit allows life-saving intensive care transport or repatriation of sick personnel to be accomplished swiftly and safely, with minimum transport trauma to the patient. Beechcraft Berlin Aviation is the distributor for the Spectrum equipment on display at EBACE.

Also being shown by Raytheon here are a composite-fuselaged Premier I, a Hawker 800XP with Pro Line 21 avionics suite, a Beechjet 400A, and a King Air 350 turboprop.
