Hawker Beechcraft last month announced it received FAA and EASA type certification for the latest King Air variant in December. Equipped with a newly designed passenger interior styled after the company’s Premier 1A, the 350i
is now the quietest of the series, according to the airframer, with extensive soundproofing reducing cabin sound levels to an average of 78 dBA. Called the Serenity System, the interior, which floats on vibration-isolating absorbers, is sheathed in quarter-inch-thick skin dampening material and features dynamic sound absorbers.

The 350i is also the first business aircraft to use the Rockwell Collins Venue cabin management system, which supports multiple personal entertainment electronics such as laptop computers, DVD and Blu-ray players, iPods, gaming consoles and future HDMI devices.
