The TBM 940 is the first turboprop equipped in the world with full
auto-pilot integration.

The auto throttle integrated system automates the engine power

control and monitoring. In addition to an innovative single lever
control decreasing the workload for the pilot as it allows new Auto
Pilot modes especially in speed control. The auto throttle improves

performance, safety and protects the engine.
It has an e-co pilot function designed to ease a pilot’s workload

The Daher TBM940 airframe design incorporates a variety of

aluminium and steel alloys, titanium as well as advanced compos-
ite materials. This airframe has structural strength and durability
at the lowest possible weight. From its inception, the TBM aircraft

family employed a fail-safe airframe design, including the use

of multiple load paths, a crack-stopper band, and an optimized

number of access panels to maximize structural life and sub-sys-

tem reliability, while also minimizing repair-cycle times. All TBM

versions are fully certified. The E1000 is based on Epic’s experimental LT model, which was
