King Air Modifications

Enhanced Special Mission Operations

Our MEK provides customers with greater mission capabilities, diversified basing options, increased aircraft performance and safety. SNC’s King Air modifications and systems integrations increase the aircraft’s time aloft and allow for increased operating weight without greater take-off risk. It also enables operations on shorter runways, making the aircraft more suitable for a wider variety of multi-mission and special operations environments.   

Integral Antenna Winglet

Radio communications are paramount for mission success in any scenario. Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft are heavily loaded with a multitude of U/VHF/L antennas that may interfere with general communications. 

Our Integral Antenna Winglet for a King Air 350 aircraft solves this challenge by placing the antennas in the winglets of the aircraft, giving them maximum distance from antennas on the fuselage and optimizing the integrity of the signal.
