Not even close, the USB port is on the left side in the Cessna and right side of the PC12.

in regards to the name, thought that "Denali" was a protected trademark name für American Champion's 210 HP Scout…?

When I heard Denali - I thought of the GMC SUV.

I've wondered if they would call it a Textron SETP, a Beechcraft / King Air SETP or in fact Cessna... it has been billed as a single engine King Air... but it isn't. When you think about product lines, Cessna already has the Caravan so I guess it makes sense.

It will probably be taken as another insult to the Beechcraft fans and employees.

I think they should have called it Pilatus Light.

I guess the Cessna Denali will be built to Cessna quality, not Beechcraft quality. :eek:

The innovation in the Denali is in the GE engine. New engines have often lead the launch of new aircraft lines. And there are a lot of ties with GE among current Textron Aviation management.

There may have been some exclusivity agreements between Beechcraft and P&WC that lead to GE engines needing to go into Cessna aircraft.
