Multi-Purpose Beechcraft King Air B200

The Beechcraft King Air B200, owned by AELIS, is a multipurpose aircraft, capable of flying at a max speed of 280 knots and offering a max range of 1500 NM. It is modified under EASA approved STC and fitted with 2 holes of 52cm of diameter, ready to take on worldwide missions for photogrammetric and Lidar surveys.

In a recent study of GIM International, 64% of the interrogated people have been waiting for utilisation of integrated techniques, such as Lidar combined with a photogrammetric camera system. The dual holes of this B200 allow this market evolution and thanks to the aircraft's performances capable of reaching 35,000 feet, this pressurised King Air B200 can enhance operator's productivity.

A quick change also allows the aircraft to switch from a special mission plane to a 6 seat VIP interior, ideal for ferry flights in premium comfort.

" The aerial work market as seriously evolved in the past few years. Sensors are able to work from a higher flight level and are now faster and more productive. We therefore saw a need for such aircraft, capable of optimising the sensors scope of work. Climbing and flying fast this B200 will give a serious competitive advantage to photogrammetry operators. Moreover the modification has no affect on the original performances of the B200, we are therefore delighted to bring it to the market." Says Jean-Philippe Louis, CEO of AELIS.
