About Beechcraft Aircraft Company
Beechcraft, founded in 1932 by Walter and Olive Ann Beech in Wichita, Kansas, is one of the most respected names in American general aviation. Now a brand of Textron Aviation, Beechcraft is famous for two aircraft above all others: the Bonanza — the piston single with the longest continuous production run in aviation history (since 1947) — and the King Air, the best-selling business turboprop ever built. The line also includes the twin Baron (Bonanza's twin-engine sibling), the pressurised Duke, the Musketeer family of trainers and singles, and a roster of classics like the Staggerwing biplane, the radial Twin Beech Model 18 and the T-34 Mentor military trainer. There are currently 1,259 used Beechcrafts for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions — Beechcraft
Who makes Beechcraft aircraft, and is the company still in business?
Beechcraft was founded in 1932 by Walter and Olive Ann Beech in Wichita, Kansas. It is now part of Textron Aviation (since 2014) and is very much still in business — it continues to build the Bonanza G36, Baron G58 and the King Air turboprop line.
What are the most popular Beechcraft models?
The Bonanza (the longest continuous production run of any aircraft), the Baron piston twin, and the King Air — the best-selling business turboprop in history. Older lines include the Musketeer/Sundowner/Sierra trainers, the Travel Air and Duke twins, and the Hawker-line jets.
Are Beechcraft aircraft good airplanes?
Beechcraft has a strong reputation for build quality, speed and ramp presence, and the type holds its value well. Models like the Bonanza and King Air are among the most respected in their classes, with large support networks. As always, condition, maintenance and airworthiness-directive compliance matter most on any used aircraft.
Why are Beechcraft parts and maintenance more expensive?
Beechcraft are premium, factory-supported designs built to high standards, so type-specific parts and labour cost more than basic trainers. Complex systems (retractable gear, pressurisation, turbine engines on the King Air) add to upkeep. Budget for these before buying.
What is the cheapest Beechcraft to buy and own?
The early two- and four-seat Musketeer/Sundowner/Sierra models and early straight-tail or V-tail Bonanzas are generally the lowest-cost way into the brand. Operating cost still depends on engine time, avionics and condition more than purchase price.
Should I choose a single-engine or twin Beechcraft?
The single-engine Bonanza offers high performance and the lowest operating cost in the line. The Baron and other twins add a second engine for redundancy and payload, at meaningfully higher fuel, maintenance and insurance cost. The King Air steps up again to turbine reliability and cabin-class comfort.
What is the difference between Beechcraft and Hawker?
Historically the Hawker name covered the business-jet side of the company (e.g. the Hawker 400/800/4000), while Beechcraft covered the piston singles, twins and King Air turboprops. Both came under Textron Aviation; on this site Hawker jets are listed under their original Hawker name.
Are Beechcraft aircraft hard to insure?
High-performance models (Bonanza, Baron, King Air) typically require more pilot training and time-in-type for favourable insurance than a basic trainer. Insurers look at total time, retract/twin/turbine experience and recent currency. Factor insurance into the ownership budget.
Is the Beechcraft Bonanza or Baron still in production?
Yes. Textron Aviation still builds the six-seat Bonanza G36 and the Baron G58 piston twin, both with modern Garmin glass flight decks, alongside the current King Air turboprops.
How do I choose the right Beechcraft for me?
Match the aircraft to your mission: a Bonanza for fast four-to-six-seat single-engine travel, a Baron for twin-engine redundancy and payload, or a King Air for turbine reliability and a cabin-class cabin. Compare prices, specs, operating costs and listings for each family in the tables above.
