From the outside, the most significant change has been made at the aircraft's rear. Here, instead of a standard tail with a vertical stabilizer, there is now a V-Tail. Such design change will allow for larger propellers and a further increase in the distance between propellers and the ground. Furthermore, using a V-Tail should result in lower aerodynamic drag and help in the plane's overall aerodynamics characteristics.
One of the changes that will affect the passenger version the most is the change in the internal layout. The original VIP and Executive variants, which had different seating arrangements, are now unified into a 1+2+2 scheme.
Minor design changes have also been made to the Cargo version, whose interior space is now better suited for different types of cargo.
