The Piper M700 Fury is a pressurized single-engine turboprop with a top cruise speed of 301 ktas and a maximum range of 1,852 nm (about 2,130 miles). As Piper’s current flagship, it replaces the M600/SLS and comes with the HALO Safety System, which includes Garmin Emergency Autoland. Monarch Air Group can arrange a Piper M700 Fury charter on request, subject to availability.

M700 Fury Performance
The M700 Fury is powered by a 700-shp PT6A-52 engine turning a five-blade Hartzell propeller, and Piper’s figures show the biggest gains over the M600/SLS in the climb. The aircraft reaches 25,000 ft in 13.9 minutes, 34% faster than the M600/SLS, and burns about 97 lb of fuel getting there, which is roughly a quarter less than its predecessor. Landing over a 50-ft obstacle also takes about a quarter less distance than the M600/SLS needed.
In cruise, 301 ktas makes the M700 Fury the fastest single-engine aircraft Piper has built. The short takeoff and landing distances matter for charter because they open up smaller regional airports closer to where passengers actually want to go. Piper has also certified the aircraft for unpaved runways, although whether a charter flight can use a specific strip depends on the operator’s approvals.
HALO Safety System and Garmin Emergency Autoland
Every M700 Fury comes with Piper’s HALO Safety System. Its most important feature for passengers is Garmin Emergency Autoland. If the pilot becomes incapacitated, Autoland can be activated with a single button, or the system can engage on its own. Autoland chooses a suitable airport based on runway length, weather, wind, and fuel. It then communicates with air traffic control, keeps passengers informed of the landing time, flies the approach, and brakes the aircraft to a full stop. Finally, it shuts down the engine and tells passengers how to exit safely.
HALO also includes an emergency descent mode. If the cabin altitude rises above 14,900 ft while the autopilot is engaged and the pilot doesn’t respond to prompts, the aircraft descends to 14,000 ft. If the pilot still doesn’t recover, Autoland takes over. Other standard features include:
- Autothrottle
- Garmin ESP (Electronic Stability and Protection), which nudges the aircraft back within safe flight limits
- Synthetic vision
- Flight into known icing (FIKI) approval
- Onboard weather radar
Cabin and Passenger Experience
M700 Fury can carry up to five passengers, and its cabin is pressurized to a 5.5-psi differential, which keeps it comfortable at cruise altitudes well above most weather. Standard features include club seating, air conditioning, and USB-A and USB-C charging ports.
New aircraft can be ordered with Piper’s EXP package, which offers custom interior palettes, premium leather, two-tone seats, and upgraded veneer finishes. Interiors on charter aircraft vary by owner, so we confirm the exact cabin details with the operator when you request a quote.
From Unveiling to Certification
Piper unveiled the M700 Fury on February 6, 2024, at its headquarters in Vero Beach, Florida. The FAA granted type certification just over three weeks later, on February 29, 2024. Today it heads Piper’s business lineup alongside the M500 and M350.
When M700 Fury Makes Sense for Private Charter
The M700 Fury suits small groups on regional trips who want turboprop economics without giving up much speed. It’s a good fit for executives flying between secondary airports, families heading to island or mountain destinations, and trips where a short runway rules out many jets.
As with any small aircraft, range depends on load. The 2,315-lb useful load is shared between fuel, passengers, and baggage. With every seat filled, the practical nonstop range is shorter than the 1,852-nm maximum, and headwinds and required fuel reserves reduce it further.
If your group needs more cabin space, a Pilatus PC-12NG or King Air 350i offers more room. For a similar single-engine experience, the Daher TBM 910, Piper M600, and Piper M500 are good alternatives. You can see more options among our turboprop charter aircraft.
How to Charter M700 Fury
To request an M700 Fury, send us your route, dates, number of passengers, and approximate baggage. Our team will check availability with operators certificated under FAA Part 135. If no M700 Fury is available for your dates, we’ll suggest the closest comparable turboprop. Charter prices depend on the route, the aircraft’s positioning, and the timing of the trip, so every price is quoted per flight.
