Daher Delivers 80th TBM 960 Plane
French aircraft manufacturer Daher has confirmed the delivery of its 80th TBM 960 turboprop plane. It was delivered to a private owner. Launched in April last year, the range-topping derivative hit the 80-delivery mark in less than 16 months. And to celebrate the occasion, Daher’s TBM 960 demonstrator aircraft is on display at the company’s exhibit booth (#387-392) at the ongoing EAA AirVenture event in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The unit has the brand’s “Sirocco” paint scheme, which includes black mask highlighting around the cockpit windows.
The TBM 960 is the fifth generation of Daher’s TBM 900-series aircraft family. To date, 488 units of the TBM 900, TBM 910, TBM 930, TBM 940 and TBM 960 have been delivered to their takers. In comparison, the two previous-generation aeroplane families – TBM 700s and TBM 850s – garnered 324 and 338 delivery counts, respectively.
