Daher Aims To Grow North America Presence
With two aircraft here at the Paris Airshow, Daher is a home-grown company with international ambitions.
Daher brought two of its TBM single-engine turboprops to the Paris Air Show this year. Recent changes to EASA rules will expand the commercial market for similar aircraft.

Here at the Paris Airshow, French airframer Daher is showcasing its capabilities with new materials for the first time (Hall 2A Stand B253), including a thermoplastic composite wing rib. The part was designed internally by Daher, with the company filing several patents for it, and—significantly—will be used in a yet-to-be-revealed future long-range business aircraft. Daher declined to reveal further details of the program, although it did confirm that the new aircraft type will not form part of its TBM series of single-engine turboprops, which recorded 54 deliveries in 2016.
