Daher TBM 960 Development & Background
The TBM line has evolved steadily from the original TBM 700 through the TBM 850 and the TBM 900/910/940 series, culminating in the launch of the TBM 960 in April 2022, which Daher described as the “fifth evolution” of the family.
Key development milestones include the introduction of the Pratt & Whitney PT6E‑66XT engine, offering a thermodynamic rating of approximately 1,844 SHP and a nominal 850 SHP for enhanced performance and durability, and the integration of the Hartzell Raptor™ five‑blade composite propeller, which reduces weight and vibration while improving cruise and climb efficiency. The TBM 960 also features a Digital Engine & Propeller Electronic Control System (EPECS) that enables a single “e‑throttle” lever, automating start‑up and optimizing engine and propeller performance throughout the flight envelope. Cabin and system upgrades include electronically dimmable windows, LED ambient lighting, ergonomic seating, and USB‑A/USB‑C power ports, among other enhancements.
Certification and deliveries began in 2022, reflecting Daher’s goal of creating a single‑engine turboprop that maximizes performance and minimizes pilot workload while maintaining the TBM family’s signature attributes of short-runway access, high speed, and operational efficiency.

Daher TBM 960 Aircraft Capabilities & Performance
The Daher TBM 960 combines single-engine turboprop efficiency with jet-like performance, making it ideal for regional and mid-distance executive missions. Powered by the PT6A-66D engine and a 5-blade Hartzell composite propeller, it cruises at approximately 330 KTAS (611 km/h) and offers a range of up to 1,730 nm (3,204 km) in best-economy settings. With a takeoff distance of just 2,535 ft and a landing distance of 2,430 ft over a 50‑ft obstacle at maximum takeoff weight, it can access smaller airports that most jets cannot. Fuel burn at recommended cruise is around 57 gallons per hour, about 10% more efficient than maximum cruise, while the service ceiling reaches 31,000 ft.
Its Garmin G3000 avionics suite provides advanced situational awareness and automation, reducing pilot workload, and the TBM 960 is typically flown by a single pilot with 1,000–1,500 hours of turbine experience, combining speed, flexibility, and cost-efficiency for executive travel.
