Raisbeck Modifications
Elliott Aviation is an authorized Raisbeck dealer for the King Air. Raisbeck Performance Systems are available for the 300 series, 200 series, 90 series, and 100 series.
Each modification is designed to significantly increase the performance of your King Air. When fully equipped with the EPIC Performance Package, your King Air will achieve increased allowable gross weight, shorter takeoff and landing distances, better climb and initial cruise altitudes, faster and more fuel-efficient cruise, and enhanced all-weather engine performance.
Raisbeck Composite 5-Blade Swept Propeller
MODELS
- King Air 200, B200, B200GT, 250
- King Air 300, B300, 350
BENEFITS
- Swept-wing technology enables larger (96” for 200 series and 106″ for 300 series) diameter for more thrust without increasing noise or vibration
- Unlimited blade life
- Weight savings – average of 48 pounds for the 200 series and 54 pounds for the 300 series vs. OEM propellers
- Made of carbon fiber composite construction with nickel cobalt leading edges to protect against FOD
- 6 year/4,000 hours TBO
- 3-year/3,000 hour warranty
- Reduced noise and vibration
Ram Air Recovery System
MODELS
- All 200-series
BENEFITS
- Significantly increase climb and cruise performance in both normal and anti-ice operating modes
- 18° cooler engine operating ITT at equal torque
- 8% increased available horsepower at altitude gives you a faster airplane
- Measureable decrease in fuel flow at equal engine torque, resulting in increased range
- Reduced torque loss with ice vanes deployed
- Protects against FOD, deployable for all ground, takeoff, and landing operations
TECHNOLOGY
- Developed and tested in conjunction with Pratt & Whitney of Canada, Ltd
- FAA-Certified for ice-vane deployment on the ground and in the air
- Utilizes coanda-effect aerodynamics for efficient airflow vectoring
- Full inlet plenum sealing through unique full-body diaphragms
High Flotation Gear Doors
MODELS
- All 200-series
BENEFITS
- Cruise speeds and range are increased
- Stall speeds and characteristics are improved
- Air conditioning and cooling are more efficient
- Outboard wing fatigue life is inherently enhanced
TECHNOLOGY
- Drag-reducing advanced-technology airfoil
- All-composite construction for strength and weight-savings
- Recessed flush-mounted de-icing boots for minimum drag
- Fully-developed and optimized intercooler inlet for maximum efficiency
Dual AFT Body Strakes
Models
- All
BENEFITS
- Directional stability is increased, eliminating (200 & F90) or raising (300, 350) the yaw-damper-inoperative altitudes; specifically:
Model | Factory | Raisbeck-equipped |
350 | 5,000 ft | 19,000 ft |
300 | 11,000 ft | 18,500 ft |
200/B200/B200GT | 17,000 ft | No Limit |
F90 | 17,000 ft | No Limit |
- Passenger ride quality is improved
- Pilot control and handling qualities are enhanced
- Air Minimum Control Speed is inherently reduced
- Decreased drag results in increased climb and cruise performance
TECHNOLOGY
- Classic Beech ventral fin is removed
- The shedding wing/body vortices are captured under the aft fuselage, pressurizing and reducing aft-body drag
- Resulting coanda-effect attaches the aft-body airflow
- Equivalent vertical tail area is increased
Crown Wing Locker Systems
MODELS
- All except F90/F90-1, 100/A100/B100
BENEFITS
- FAA-certified to carry 600 pounds total cargo in 16 cubic feet of luggage space
- Returns your cabin to your passengers
- Handles skis, snowboards, camping and hunting equipment as well as golf bags and luggage
- Fully certified for FAR Part 135 Operations
- Provided with lock-and-key security
- Factory-installed on all new King Air 350s
TECHNOLOGY
- Lightweight composite construction allows for infinite-life structural certification
- Aerodynamically area-ruled to minimize drag
- Fully self-contained for a clean and dry locker interior
- Removable in minutes for any airplane maintenance or inspections
Enhanced Performance Leading Edges
MODELS
- F90
- A100
- 100
- B100
- 250
- B200GT
- B200
- 200
- 350

- Wheel wells, tires, and brakes are kept clean, warm, and dry
TECHNOLOGY
- Fully encloses the protruding high-floating gear, wheels, and tires
- Aerodynamically area-ruled to maximize drag reduction
- Constructed of lightweight composites for maximum strength and minimum weight
