The Piper M350 and M500 are the same airplane on the outside.
The M350 has a 350 hp turbocharged six cylinder gasoline engine. It holds 120 gallons of fuel, has a maximum cruise speed of 245 MPH, and a maximum range of 1544 miles.
The M500 has a 500 hp PT6 turbine engine. It holds 170 gallons of fuel, has a maximum cruise speed of 299 MPH, and a maximum range of 1150 miles.
Those high efficiency gas turbine power plants have huge heat recovery systems that could not possibly fit into an airplane.
