The Beechcraft Baron is a twin engine propeller driven aircraft. It is one of the largest propeller driven aircraft available. Model B55 is the classic model while the model B58 is the newer stretched version. It is proudly manufactured by Hawker Beechcraft which has headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, USA.

This airplane has room for six, that is a pilot and five passengers. It has a wingspan of just under 38 feet and a range of just over 1100 miles. While this range is not as far as the larger jet turbine aircraft, it is also much more economical to operate.

The Beechcraft Baron has been manufactured for decades and has outlasted similar models of its competition. The design and manufacture has produced a comfortable and practical medium range aircraft. A short 1400 foot takeoff requirement allows its use in smaller airports unlike larger jet turbine aircraft.

Beechcraft Barons can be purchased new. There is also an active used market where well maintained units can purchased for a reasonable price. For medium range requirements and smaller airports this Beechcraft Baron is an intelligent choice.
