Overview
The Socata
TB 20 Trinidad GT is a metal semi-monocoque,
single-engine aircraft with a constant-speed propeller
and retractable landing gear.
It combines the proven airframe of the Trinidad with
the latest aviation technology, driven by Socata's
major role as an aerostructure supplier on the Airbus
A330/A340. For example, the upper fuselage panels are
made of a carbon-fiber/honeycomb sandwich, a light,
extremely robust material that can be used to make
complex forms.
Windows are flush-mounted for maximum streamlining.
With the Trinidad GT, we have made a nearly perfect
blend of comfort and performance even better. We
rounded the fuselage to give you more cabin space,
while also improving aerodynamics.
The wingtips are derived from those on the TBM700, the
fastest single-engine turboprop aircraft in the world.
As a final touch, the footsteps retract automatically
along with the landing gear.
