The engine will bring a radical change to this segment, thanks to its industry-best 16:1 overall pressure ratio that enables up to 18 per cent better fuel consumption and up to 10 per cent higher cruise power in its class.

The GE Aviation Catalyst engine burns less fuel than older turboprops and has the capability to use sustainable fuels, meaning lower emissions. Test flights of the Beechcraft Denali are planned for the end of the year.
