The Piper M-Class aircraft line, launched on April 13, 2015, includes three models derived from the PA-46 Malibu: the M600, Meridian M500, and M350. These aircraft offer enhanced performance and safety features while catering to different market segments for business and private travel.
"These new aircraft each encompass the most advanced safety and connectivity technology available today in an ambitious, aesthetic package," stated Simon Caldecott, former Piper President and CEO.
In 2024, Piper Aircraft is producing the M350, M500, and the newly certified M700 Fury. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified the M700 in February for unpaved field operations. In December, the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority also certified it. Piper Aircraft is currently seeking multiple international validations for these new models to improve their versatility.
