Beechcraft Duchess Be 76 Flight Manual Online

The Beechcraft Model 76 Duchess is an American twin-engined monoplane built by Beechcraft intended partly as a low cost introduction to twin-engine aircraft.^[1][2]

Development[edit]

Developed as Model PD289 (Preliminary Design 289), the prototype was unveiled on November 4th, 1974, although it had first flown in September 1974.^{[1][3]:409–410} The design used components and the bonded wing construction from Beechcraft's single-engined Musketeer line.^[4]:55

The first production version flew on 24 May 1977, and the name 'Duchess' was chosen through a company competition.^[1][3] Construction of the Duchess was set for a new factory built at the Liberal Division,^[5] with deliveries beginning early in 1978.^[3]:473

Production of the Duchess continued until 1983, with no significant changes.^[6] A single example was tested with turbocharged engines in 1979, but did not proceed to production.^[4]:56

Design[edit]

The Model 76 was designed as an economical twin-engine trainer for the Beech Aero Centers and to compete with the similar Gulfstream Cougar as well as the Cessna 310.^[1][7] The Duchess is an all-metal low-wing monoplane with retractable tricycle landing gear and a T-tail. It seats four.^[8]

The Model 76 incorporates right and left 'handed' Lycoming O-360 engines that turn in different directions to eliminate the critical engine during single engine operation.^[9]

In 1979, a single example was converted to test the turbocharged versions of the engine. The cowlings were reshaped and the exhaust moved to accommodate the aft-mounted turbochargers.^[4]:56

The Duchess wing is of aluminum honeycomb construction fastened by bonding, rather than rivets, to reduce cost and produce a smoother aerodynamic surface.^[9]

T-tail[edit]

The use of a T-tail on the Model 76 met with mixed critical reception when the aircraft was introduced. Plane & Pilot pronounced: 'Outstanding design characteristics of the new Duchess include an aerodynamically advantageous T-tail, which places the horizontal surfaces above the propeller slipstream for better stability and handling.',^[9] while Gerald Foster said: '[Beechcraft's] interest in T-tails was perhaps an affectation triggered by their wide use on jet airliners'.^[10] The later Piper Seminole also adopted a T-tail.
