Description
The TBM-700 was originally developed in partnership between Socata (Aerospatiale's General Aviation division) in France and Mooney in the USA, hence the TBM designation. The two companies formed TBM SA to build and market the TBM-700, with development responsibility for the project divided on a 70/30 basis between Socata and Mooney respectively. The pressurised TBM-700 is of conventional design and construction, with a small amount of composite materials used in some areas. Flight controls, flaps and most of the empennage and fin are made from Nomex honeycomb and metal sheets. Leading edges and undercarriage doors meanwhile are made from a carbon and fibreglass composite. Entry to the cabin is through a split upward/downward opening door in the rear port fuselage. Apart from the base aircraft the TBM-700 is offered as the TBM-700C freighter with a freight door and separate port side cockpit door. Development of the stretched TBM-700S ceased in 1995. The TBM850 is the latest version of the TBM700
