More than halfway into 2020, GE Aviation still expects the first flight of its new Catalyst turboprop engine on a King Air 350 flying testbed and delivery of the first engine to Textron Aviation this year, a company spokesman told AIN this week. The clean-sheet engine will power Textron Aviation's Cessna Denali turboprop single.
