Daher comes to EBACE on the heels of announcing, and even starting deliveries of, its latest-generation TBM turboprop single—the TBM 960. The French airframer unveiled the upgraded airplane in early April at the Sun ’n Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida, and by the end of the month had handed over the first production example. EASA certification of the 960 is already in hand, while FAA approval is pending, it said.
