About the Blackhawk Aerospace Bravo

The Blackhawk Bravo represents one of the most popular aftermarket conversions in general aviation: a Cessna 208 Caravan re-engined with a more powerful Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A turboprop. Blackhawk Aerospace, a specialist in turboprop engine upgrades, developed this supplemental type certificate to transform the already-capable Caravan into a significantly higher-performing utility aircraft. The conversion increases horsepower from the standard 675 shp to 850 shp, delivering improved climb rates, higher cruise speeds, better hot-and-high performance, and increased useful load, all critical advantages for operators in mountainous terrain, high-density altitude environments, or those needing maximum payload capability.

The Bravo conversion has found favor with cargo operators, skydiving outfits, and backcountry charter services where the extra power translates directly into operational flexibility and safety margins. While retaining the Caravan's legendary ruggedness and short-field capability, the Bravo variant offers cruise speeds around 185 knots and service ceilings exceeding 28,000 feet, making it a compelling upgrade for operators who have outgrown their standard Caravan's performance envelope. The conversion maintains full FAA certification and can be applied to new or existing Caravan airframes.
