    Alexander Pugh
    The Piper M600 is a single-engine turboprop aircraft that seats 4-5 passengers and 1-2 crew members. It has a range of 1,484 nm and a cruise speed of 217 knots. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A engine producing 600 horsepower, the M600 has a maximum takeoff weight of 6,000 pounds. Key safety features include a Garmin G3000 avionics system and Halo autoland capabilities. The aircraft structure is composed primarily of aluminum alloy and fiberglass.

    Piper M600

    ● PAX: 4-5, with 1-2 seat for crew/pilot (total of 6 seats) [1-5]
    ● Range: 1484 nm [1-4]
    ● Cruise Speed: 217 ktas [1-5]
    ● Wing: low wing [5]
    ● Engine: single engine turboprop (Pratt & Whitney Model: PT6A-42A) [1, 2, 4]
    ● Landing gear: retractable [5]
    ● Power: 600 shp [1,3,4]
    ● Fuel capacity: 260 gallons (total) [1,4]
    ● MTOW: 6000 lbs/ 2722 kg [1,5]
    ● Empty Weight: 3,650 lbs/ 1,656 kg [5]
    ● Safety Features: Garmin G3000 avionics system, Halo Safety System with Autoland
    [6]
    ● Material:
    ○ Prop: “The steel-shank core is wrapped in carbon composite material and trimmed
    with a nickel-cobalt leading edge with a mesh erosion screen to protect the blades
    from foreign-object debris” [6]
    ○ Fuselage: Al alloy and fiberglass. [7]
    ● Fuselage: “Most of the fuselage also is a conventional semi-monocoque, high-
    strength aluminum alloy structure, with the exception of the forward nose cowl shell
    made from aluminum and fiberglass. Skins are flush riveted in areas exposed to the
    slipstream. A steel tube assembly, forward of the pressure vessel, supports the engine
    and nose landing gear.” [7]
    ● Wings: “The M600’s new semi-monocoque aluminum wing actually dates back to a
    1979 airfoil designed by Robert J. McGhee and William D. Beasley at NASA’s
    Langley Research Center. Their MS(1)-0313 (medium-speed, 13% thickness-to-chord
    ratio at 37.5% chord) airfoil blends the desirable high-lift characteristics of an earlier
    low-speed general aviation airfoil with some of the rooftop pressure distribution,
    turbulent boundary layer characteristics of low-drag high-speed airfoils. The result is
    an airfoil that has improved maximum lift coefficient and stall behavior
    characteristics with a relatively low drag rise up to Mach 0.72, well above the design
    speed of the M600. It’s also comparatively immune to performance degradation
    caused by leading edge contamination.” “For the M600, Piper modified the baseline
    airfoil to have 17% thickness at the root, tapering to 13% at the tip. The aspect ratio is
    8.5:1, taper ratio is 0.4:1, geometric twist is 3 deg. and dihedral is 3 deg. Compared to
    the NACA 23000 series airfoils used for the Meridian, the M600’s wing is thicker,
    but it has better lift-to-drag characteristics at cruise speed as well as even more benign
    stall characteristics. The increased thickness not only increases internal volume
    available for fuel, it also makes the spars and ribs taller and thinner, thereby reducing
    structural weight.” [7]
    ● Spar: “The wing has forward, main and rear spars. Many of the spar and rib
    components are single-piece machinings. Span-wise stringers are bonded to the wing
    skins to increase stiffness. Conventional mechanical fasteners, such as rivets and Hi-
    Lok fittings, are used to assemble the wing. Right and left wing halves are joined at
    the root and then the entire wing assembly is fastened to the fuselage with torque and
    shear fittings.” [7]
    ● Tail: Conventional - determined by images
    ● Guidlines/ Cerifications: FAA, EASA [8,9]
