The JetPROP DLX is essentially a firewall forward conversion of the Piper PA-46 Malibu. Prior to mounting the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-35 turbine, the old piston engine is removed and the firewall is rebuilt.
Conversion begins in earnest with the mating of Pratt & Whitney’s 750hp PT6A-35 turbine engine to the Malibu/Mirage airframe. The intake nacelle includes an ice door to prevent damage to the PT6A-35 engine.
