Daher's TBM single-engine turboprop program continues to be strong, with more than 800 delivered to date; of those 145 are newer-generation TBM 900s and 930s. New TBMs are now available with the Elite flexible quick-change combi interior, the Elite Privacy modular lavatory option and soon a new quick-change air ambulance version. The latter is designed to take advantage of regulatory changes in Europe permitting single-engine charter operations.

Meanwhile, a new TBM 930 flight training device (FTD) is scheduled for installation at Simcom's Lee Vista Training Center in Orlando, Fla. The FTD is being built by Frasca International.

Daher also announced that it has opened a new aerostructures sales office in Savannah, Ga., to support that growing part of the company's business. The office will also support sourcing and procurement, as well as engineering. The company’s aerostructures, systems and services sales increased 9.8 percent in 2015.

The company not only produces metal and composite aerostructures and systems for its TBM line of turboprops, but also for a diverse assortment of other aircraft and engines. This incudes the Airbus A320, A330, A350 XWB, A380 and A400M; Airbus Helicopters H125, H130, Super Puma, NH90 and Tigre; ATR 42 and 72; Boeing 777; Bombardier CRJ700, CRJ900 and CRJ1000; CFM International LEAP 1B; Dassault Falcon 900, 2000, 5X, 7X and 8X; Embraer Legacy 400/500 and E170/190; and Gulfstream G500/600.

The aerostructures office is one of several strategic moves the company has made recently. Earlier this year, Daher completed integration of floor-covering subsidiary LISI Group. The LISI acquisition is designed to help position Daher to become a player in aircraft cabin integration in support of major aircraft OEMs.
