XSTOL utility aircraft
SuperPac 750XL-II
The SuperPac 750XL-II takes the world’s first production XSTOL aircraft further: more power, a quieter propeller and a modern glass cockpit, with the same rugged short-field ability.
Flagship
Built for the hardest strips
The 750XL was developed after US skydiving operators asked for a bigger Cresco. The FAA certified it in March 2004, and it has since become the benchmark for ten-seat utility aircraft, working from short, rough strips on six continents.
The SuperPac 750XL-II keeps everything operators value in the 750XL and adds the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-140A engine, a Hartzell four-blade propeller and a Garmin G600 TXi cockpit. It climbs to 13,000 ft in 10 minutes at full weight, burns about 10% less fuel and is noticeably quieter.
PT6A-140A
Pratt & Whitney turboprop, 900 SHP capable.
Hartzell 4-blade
