70
Introduced in 1968.
This aircraft is similar to the A65 in that it is powered by the 340 hp (250 kW) [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], however it has the longer wing of the 80 series.
This allows the 70 to have a greater lifting ability than the 65 but a lower fuel burn than the 80.
It is, essentially, an A65 with the B80 wing. Its gross weight is 8,200 lb (3,700 kg) and useful loads could be as high as 2,400 lb (1,100 kg). Production ended in 1971.

A80
Introduced in 1964.
The major changes to the A80 include a redesign of the aircraft nose, and a 500-pound increase in takeoff weight to
8,500 lb (3,900 kg) gross weight.
This aircraft was the first to feature the longer wing found on all subsequent variants except the A65.
This extension added around 2 ft (0.61 m) to each side.
B80
Introduced in 1966 the B80 was to be the final production model.
The B80 was by far the longest produced Queen Air with production lasting some 12 years. Its major improvement was the increased gross weight to a 8,800 lb (4,000 kg).
This gave the B80 a useful load of well over 3,000 lb (1,400 kg). Production ended in 1978.

88
Introduced in 1965 the model 88 is a pressurised version of the Queen Air.
This aircraft featured round cabin windows that make the 88 look quite similar to a 90 series King Air.
It also shares the engines and long wing of the B80. Sales were slack due to its higher sales price and lower useful load as compared to the B80.
Only 45 were ever produced and the aircraft was removed from production in 1969.
As a matter of fact, the first two models of King Airs official designation was BE65-90 and BE65-A90 owing to its Queen Air heritage.
