Blackhawk Modifications of Waco, Texas, is in Atlanta this week to announce its latest engine power upgrade for the Beech King Air 200, the Dash 61 STC program featuring factory-new 850-shp Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-61 turboshafts with a higher thermodynamic horsepower rating in place of the original PT6A-42 powerplants.

Edwin Black, director of marketing and sales for Blackhawk Modifications, noted that manufacturer Hawker Beechcraft has introduced the factory B200GT program using the PT6A-52 engine. “The Dash 61 is the same engine as the Dash 52, but the difference is that they turned the wick up on the Dash 52 for a 20-degree-higher ITT [internal turbine temperature] limit” to 820 degrees, he said.
