The King Air 100 series was announced on the 23rd of May 1969. Compared with the 90 series it was 1.27m (4ft 2in) longer, allowing greater seating capacity, and featured a reduced wing span and larger rudder. Later 100-series models included the A100, a military version, and the B100, which featured 715 shp Garrett AiResearch TPE-331 engines as a result of Pratt and Whitneys inability to provide engines. The 100 series was discontinued in 1984. The Model 99 series was based on the Model 100 airframe.
