The Beechcraft Denali, a single-engine turboprop aircraft from Textron Aviation, is advancing through its certification process. Initially announced at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in 2015, the aircraft has been undergoing flight tests since its first flight in November 2021. The company expects to receive Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification by 2025.

The Denali is designed to carry up to nine passengers over a range of approximately 1,600 nautical miles at cruise speeds of 285 knots. It features a General Electric Catalyst turboprop engine with advanced technologies aimed at improving performance and efficiency.

Textron Aviation's Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Flight Operations, Lannie O’Banniom, stated that "commencing certification flight testing on the aircraft marks a significant milestone for the program." He expressed excitement about delivering the aircraft to customers.

The Denali's cabin offers flexibility with configurations for either executive seating or commuter arrangements. The cockpit includes Garmin G3000 avionics and safety systems such as Emergency Autoland.

Despite delays primarily due to engine development issues, Textron Aviation has completed over 500 test flights and accumulated around 1,300 flight hours as part of its certification efforts. According to Textron Aviation, “the GE Aerospace Catalyst powerplant features a dual channel FADEC and propeller control which provides easy jet-like power control.”

Textron aims for this new model to compete against existing single-engine turboprops like the Pilatus PC-12 and Daher TBM series.
