An improved—and larger—version of the Premier IA, the II is both faster and longer-legged than its predecessor and comes with winglets and a max takeoff weight of 13,800 lb. With its 3,050-lbst Williams engines, the II promises to top out at 465 knots and fly four pasengers and full fuel 1,500 nm with NBAA IFR reserves. Max operating altitude is 45,000 feet, versus the 1A’s 41,000 feet. Certification is expected in the second quarter of 2010.
