Beechcraft King Air 100: Complete Specs, Performance, and Buyer's Guide (2026)
The Beechcraft King Air 100 (in production from 1969 to 1983 across Model 100, A100, and B100 variants) is the foundational stretched King Air that established the larger twin-turboprop platform between the Model 90 family and the later T-tail Model 200 Super King Air. The Model 100 is a stretched derivative of the Model 90, featuring five cabin windows each side instead of the Model 90's three, with MTOW increased by 1,300 lb to 10,600 lb. The 100 borrowed wings, tail, and engines from the Model 99 airliner (itself a Queen Air development). The Model 100 first flew on March 17, 1969 and was unveiled to the public in May 1969. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-28 turboprop engines (each rated at 680 shp, three-bladed propellers on original), the King Air 100 delivers 265 knot max cruise (490 km/h, 307 mph), 1,341 nm range, and 24,850 ft service ceiling. 45.9 ft wingspan (same as Model 90). Cabin: 4.2 ft stretch from Model 90, accommodating 6-8 passengers (typical 7 including belted lavatory) or up to 15 high-density. Five round windows each side of main seating + two smaller windows in aft cabin. Five cabin windows total each side (vs Model 90's three). Modest pressurization. 62 cubic feet aft baggage (40 cu ft optional belly cargo pod). Aircraft accommodates 10 passengers + 1 pilot per planephd.
The Model 100 (89 built, 1969-1972) was superseded by the Model A100 in 1972, with MTOW increased to 11,500 lb, fuel capacity +94 US gallons, and four-bladed propellers (significantly decreased cabin noise levels). 157 A100s built through 1979. The B100 (1976-1983) featured 715 shp Garrett AiResearch TPE-331 engines (alternative to PT6As) and MTOW increased to 11,800 lb. The B100 was discontinued in 1984. The Model 200 Super King Air (originally conceived as Model 101 in 1969 as a Model 100 development with T-tail) eventually superseded the conventional-tail Model 100 family. Per Stratos Jets: "In total, Beechcraft built nearly 400 of them between 1969 and 1983. More than 100 remain in service today." Per Wikipedia: "More than 3,100 King Air 90 and 100 series aircraft have been delivered as of August 2008."
For operators wanting Beechcraft's foundational stretched King Air with 4.2 ft fuselage extension vs King Air 90 (five cabin windows + 6-8 passenger capacity), two Pratt & Whitney PT6A-28 turboprop engines (680 shp each, with four-bladed props on A100/B100 for substantially decreased cabin noise), Garrett TPE-331 engine option (B100 variant), 265 knot max cruise, 1,341 nm range, 24,850 ft service ceiling, modestly pressurized cabin, accessible operating costs, and Beechcraft's legendary turboprop reliability heritage, the King Air 100 represents the foundational stretched King Air platform.

The Bottom Line
The Beechcraft King Air 100 (in production from 1969 to 1983 across Model 100, A100, and B100 variants) represents Beechcraft's foundational stretched King Air that established the larger twin-turboprop platform between the Model 90 family and the later T-tail Model 200 Super King Air. With substantial industry-defining capabilities (4.2 ft fuselage stretch vs King Air 90 providing five cabin windows each side instead of Model 90's three with MTOW increased by 1,300 lb to 10,600 lb, two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-28 turboprop engines providing 680 shp each on Model 100/A100 with established proven Model 99 airliner heritage or two Garrett AiResearch TPE-331-6-252B turboprop engines providing 715 shp each on B100 variant offering higher cruise speed and fuel efficiency, four-bladed Hartzell full-feathering reversible constant-speed propellers on A100/B100 substantially decreasing cabin noise vs Model 100's original three-bladed, 265 knot max cruise at 490 km/h / 307 mph, 1,341 nm range per SherpaReport enabling non-stop flights from Las Vegas to Detroit or Manchester to Istanbul, 24,850 ft service ceiling, modest cabin pressurization, substantial cabin of 16 ft 8 in length + 4 ft 9 in height with five round windows each side of main seating + two smaller windows in aft cabin, 62 cu ft aft baggage compartment with optional 40 cu ft belly cargo pod, dirt airstrip capability, optional rear cargo door for large pallets), the King Air 100 delivered Beechcraft's foundational stretched turboprop platform. The Model 100 first flew on March 17, 1969 and was unveiled to the public in May 1969. The 100 borrowed wings, tail, and engines from the Model 99 airliner (itself a Queen Air development). Standard configuration accommodates 6-7 passengers typical with belted lavatory (up to 8 corporate or 15 high-density). The Model 100 (89 built, 1969-1972) was superseded by the Model A100 in 1972, with MTOW increased to 11,500 lb (+900 lb), fuel capacity +94 US gallons, and four-bladed propellers. 157 A100s built through 1979. The B100 (1976-1983) featured 715 shp Garrett AiResearch TPE-331 engines (alternative to PT6As) and MTOW increased to 11,800 lb. The B100 was discontinued in 1984. The Model 200 Super King Air (originally conceived as Model 101 in 1969) was a development of the Model 100 King Air that eventually superseded the conventional-tail Model 100 family with T-tail, more powerful PT6A-41 engines (850 shp), increased wing span and extra fuel capacity, and higher pressurization. Per Stratos Jets: "In total, Beechcraft built nearly 400 of them between 1969 and 1983. More than 100 remain in service today." Per Wikipedia: "More than 3,100 King Air 90 and 100 series aircraft have been delivered as of August 2008." Industry-leading turboprop economics with operating costs significantly more economical than light jets in same passenger class. Modern customization potential including aftermarket cargo modifications. Premium Beechcraft heritage. Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 engines are renowned for performing well in colder climates while Garrett TPE-331 power plants offer higher cruise speed and more fuel efficiency. Beechcraft worldwide service network continues to support the King Air 100 platform. Pre-owned market: accessible legacy turboprop class. Strong residual value within legacy turboprop market.

Fractional jet programs are available for Beechcraft King Air 100-class travelers who want guaranteed access without sole ownership. Aircraft lease and aircraft leasing arrangements (operating, finance, dry, wet) are structured to match the operator's hours, geography, and balance sheet. The Beechcraft King Air 100 fits naturally into all of these structures, and Quantum Jets handles the structuring, documentation, and lifecycle service so the owner can focus on flying.
If you are evaluating a Beechcraft King Air 100 for purchase, charter, lease, fractional access, management, refurbishment, or sale, talk to a Quantum Jets broker for a custom market scan and pre-buy diligence.
