Initiated in 1965, the development of the twin-engine Beechcraft 60 Duke aimed to fill the gap between the Beechcraft Baron and Queen Air models. The inaugural model, introduced in 1968, was tailored for commuter use. The aircraft boasted a pressurized cabin with club seating for passenger comfort, complemented by a port-side airstair entry door. Utilizing honeycomb construction and advanced bonding techniques from previous Beechcraft models, the Beechcraft Duke 60 featured Lycoming TIO541-B4 turbocharged engines, ensuring enhanced efficiency and a lighter aircraft.
Red Box is delighted to present an extensive range of ground power equipment for this aircraft, encompassing tugs, ground power units, start power units and more, meticulously suited to the specifications of the Hawker Beechcraft Duke 60 aircraft.
This includes the 709 tug, and the RBPS50 continuous power unit. Ideal for diagnostic work, pre-flight checks, or continuous powering of equipment during operations without draining the onboard aircraft batteries, the RB50A GPU is also available for starting the aircraft, aiding in avoiding hot starts. Additionally, we offer a combination of start and continuous power in one unit for the Beechcraft 60 Duke in our TC3000 range.
