  • Daher's TBM turboprop is the fastest single-engine turbine on the market. AVweb's Paul Bertorelli recently visited the company's Tarbes, France factory to see how the airplanes are made.

    I like the TBM. To put it in simple terms, it's cool! It's quite a magnificent aircraft. The manufacturing, and assembly process of the TBMs adds to their "wow!" factor.

    Love watching the mix of old world hand craftsmanship and modern CNC. The French have a long tradition of hand made sheet metal parts. The use of repousse to hand fit parts was nice.

      The real shame is the TBM700 is a updated Mooney 301 that never went into production. The design was sold/given to Aérospatiale by then Mooney owner Alex Cuvalair, a French National. It started as a joint venture that Mooney was "kicked" out of after all the design info and tooling was shared. Mooney's have always been a hand made plane with true craftsmanship.

    First time I saw a TBM930 I fell in love with it. But I didn't know Daher was french and the TBM is made in my own country.
    However, I love the way they are speaking with our great french accent. I'm not saying that I'm better, but it's quite funny to hear it. :D

    Oh yes, the still hold the type certificate for the Rallye series, and yes, if necessary they will make spare parts. But a nosewheel axle (just one small forged steel part) will cost in excess of €1100 plus taxes and has a 3 month waiting time, so it's not recommended unless you really can't get a used spare part. Ask me how I know :)

    All Aircraft are over priced! Simple reason is your paying for all the R&D over the last few years, it's no different on a boat or car, they could be built cheaper no doubt, but a plane like TBM 850/900 has probably 1mill just from fire wall forward, the prop is probably 30G's there will never be a cheap Aircraft as long as it's being built w/the most advanced material at the time of production, just imagine if you take away all the carbon fiber, the high tech avionics, turbine engine, fwd /rev full feather prop, Retrct Lnd gear -and a lot more thing's you don't see, the plane would still look about the same -but you might as well change the name to PIPER because that's about what you would have, plus then a man with a upper class salarie might even be able to afford it! If you got it financed for 20 yrs, the average American will never be able to own a plane, you have got to earn the money of the upper 20 % of people to afford a Cessna 150 ,pitiful
