Details
The Model 76 was designed as an economical twin-engine trainer. The Duchess incorporates engines that turn in different directions to eliminate the critical engine from single engine operation. One characteristic of the Duchess includes a T-tail, which places the horizontal surfaces above the propeller slipstream for better stability and handling. With a well laid out cockpit and roomy interior the Duchess is a solid multi-engine trainer with equipment and features to make it an excellent cross country machine.Beechcraft Duchess Specifications
