Explorer Aircraft Model 500T
Explorer 500T
The Explorer 500T is the new turbine powered workhorse of the Explorer family of aircraft. Equipped with ten fully-tracked seats with flexible configuration to accommodate cargo, passenger or other operations. The spacious cabin provides optimal safety, comfort and panoramic views. The flat cabin floor accommodates bulky cargo, and the integral belly cargo provides an additional 50 cu. ft. of space, bringing the total cargo volume to 300 cu. ft.

The 500T's performance surpasses that of today's aging fleet of light twins and it carries more cargo and people, but with single engine operating costs.
