N534TX

This airframe, registered as N534TX, is a 2017-build Textron AirLand Scorpion of the Model 530 family with manufacturer serial number 530-0003. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by TEXTRON AVIATION INC, a corporation based in Wichita, KS, US, which also serves as the primary operator/home base for the type as listed. Registry records for this specific serial indicate manufacturer assignment and corporate ownership rather than third-party commercial operation; no separate sale or transfer events are published in the provided data. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied dataset.

The airframe is configured with a tandem two-seat layout for ISR and trainer missions while production and civil-config references note that the Model 530 airframe can be fitted with up to 8 seats depending on customer fit-out, and this airframe’s published seat capacity reflects that flexibility. Avionics are listed as Cobham-designed flat-panel cockpit displays according to the manufacturer-stated cockpit supplier, supporting mission systems and training avionics common to intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and advanced flight training roles. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize short- to medium-range ISR sorties or trainer hops within the aircraft’s 2,400 nm range at cruise speeds near 450 kts, operating from the owner/operator base in Wichita, Kansas. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would align with twin TFE731-series engine procedures and manufacturer airframe support, though no bespoke maintenance history was provided.

The Textron AirLand Scorpion Model 530 occupies a niche bridging light attack/ISR and civil utility roles, offering jet performance—up to 450 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling—with flexible cabin fit-outs up to 8 seats. Powered by twin Honeywell TFE731-40AR engines rated at 4,000 lbf each, the platform competes with other light tactical and missionized business jet derivatives for buyers seeking a multi-role, lower-cost alternative to larger combat or transport types. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are driven by the specialized mission equipment, the relatively small production run of the Scorpion family, and engine commonality with broader business-jet support networks via the TFE731 series.
