The Dornier 328-100 cruised at 330 knots at 20k ft. With 32 ppl on board. It’s faster than every airliner you mention. It also out performs all of them at altitude. Manufacturing has restarted under SNC for there ISR program.

You could say much more about the Piaggio Avanti.. truly in a class very much of its own.. That egg-shell smooth construction is unique inasmuch as it being so smooth there's no need for any de-icing system, it just cannot accrete ice.. I believe it benefitted from roughly 50% more wind-tunnel development than is commonly required for a front-line fighter aircraft. It's service ceiling is 42,000 ft, way above any other turbo-prop, faster than the small CitationJets but with a cabin the size of a KingAir.. when flying, I could hear the conversation of the passengers behind me. It's also a pilot's dream when landing. :>) Only the price was against it.. at circa 6 million $$$ many corporate executives were reluctant to buy a turbo-prop. At the golf-club they prized their desire to state that they had a company 'jet'.

The Sabb is loud and well abused in icing conditions.. that seems to have replaced the ATR (that does still has icing problems) for a while. The Merlin, well many are configured to get below the 10 person limit and gross weight of 12k lb.. Faster than the King Air 200 but I read a bit more tricky to fly. My pick would be the Cheyenne 400 as it has the speed, altitude and range for the below 12k lb class although it is low production and that is why King Air tends to be king of this class Noise wise, Kin Air's tend to rule due to the propellers being in front of the cabin and cockpit..

I’ve probably flown on that Pen Air Saab. I used to fly all over Alaska for work and sometimes we’d even charter a Cessna Conquest. In the 1980s I commuted to worked in a Convair 580 for a few years. The first turboprops I flew in were P-3s 50 years ago. I probably spent a few hundred hours in them going places as an avionics technician going around South America a few times and many flights across the Atlantic and a few patrols in the Mediterranean.
@toomanyhobbies400Ай бұрын
I love those Convair turboprops. Such beautiful smoke trails. There is one in freighter configuration that flies between Kelowna, BC, Canada and Vancouver, BC, YVR. I met one of the pilots and rented him an apartment in 2008. You must have some great memories of your flights. I flew aboard a B-25 at an airshow, and later a De Havilland Beaver and Twin Otter with floats. I was such a relaxed passenger in those legacy aircraft.

The piaggio avanti evo is 402 knots, not 500 knots. It’s the only turboprop aircraft which flies at an altitude of FL410 (41000 feet).
@vladimirskorobovs8990Ай бұрын
I flew on P180 EVO some time ago. Typical was 360-370 TAS on FL340-380, max power setting limited by 765 ITT. To get 401kt TAS you need to have ISA or below and push the engines up to 820 ITT, which significantly reduces the life of engines. Also, bear in mind that 9 pax is only achivable with 1 pax sitting in the toilet and one in the cockpit and they are childrens and fly without luggage 😂 otherwise MZFM will be exeeded. Harsh reality with 2 crew- 4 pax max, or 5 adults, but with 70% of fuel. 1000 nm with reserves. If more needed, pray for tailwind. Or max range speed and FL410.

Most planes aren’t. Also the pilot needs to stay ahead of any icing conditions with equipment for de-icing.

The ATR won't carry enough ice to chill a highball. I have been in situations where I was at full power, de-icing on and had to call ATC to tell them I couldn't maintain altitude.
@dubravko23Ай бұрын
Interesting point however you are wrong. There are many airlines flying ATR42/72 in constant winter, snow, potential icing conditions with zero problems and incidents or crashes such as Finnair of Finland, DAT in danmark, different companies in Scandinavia Japan airlines regional partners, Hokkaido air system in snowy areas as Sapporo for example etc. The point is, every airplane has reduced performance in icing condition but pilots need to know and be aware of limitations. Regarding this in latest crash of Voepass in Brasil, there were several icing alarms not adresse and in key moment there was flight attendant present in cockpit distracting pilots in crucial situation. It is alwasy number of factors to be considered when it is most tragic outcome.

I have about 1,000 hours in the SAAB 340. It is a fine flying machine but fast is isn't!! It is a miserable climbing airplane in the summer and to fly it at those speeds you named you would almost have to abuse the engines at low altitudes!! PLUS, you were about 100 knots too fast for the Piaggio EVO. So far as the ATR is concerned, ask the people of Brazil what they think of it. From a specs standpoint this is a terrible video!!
