Enhanced Performance 

PW127M: ADDITIONAL INCOME IN ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE
ATR -600 series offer increased capacity, making the aircraft more attractive, even in the case of operational reach. 

ATR offers a more powerful engine: PW127M, which gives strength thermodynamics 5% higher in the Take-Off and Continuous Max. 

Thanks to a new level, the performance will be improved in the following ways: 

  • Take-off weight of 500 kg and 600 kg (1100 pounds to 1320 pounds) when there are limitations 
  • Clean Ceiling Single-machine increased by approximately 1,000 ft 


MULTI-RATED ENGINE POWER

  • Level machine selected through the fuselage identification system (MEE multi-configuration) Two power levels are available for the ATR 72, allowing the PW127F for standard operations or the operations PW127M for 'hot & high', through the concept of "Operation Flex '. 
  • The benefits of this concept for an airline to come essentially from the ATR fleet mix optimization. Fleet management endurance machine (Life Limited Parts impact) will be facilitated and controlled and optimized maintenance costs. 
  • These machines are made available in early 2008 and is planned to be retrofitable on ATR -500 Series. 


Short track TAKE-OFF PERFORMANCE (RTO 100%) 
Thanks to full RTO takeoff procedures, ATR 72-600 can carry up to 70 passengers at 300 Nm (550 km) distance sector (RW10, no wind, dry runway, 10 ° C). 


ATR 72 has a 6 ° steep slopes approach capability, which allows the operation to a private airport access

Aerospatiale ATR 42-500

Aerospatiale ATR 42-500 Information

History
Aerospatiale and Aeritalia ( now Alenia ) established Avions de Transport Regional as a Groupement d' Economique INTA © ret under French law to develop a family of regional airliners . ATR - 42 is the first aircraft consortium and launched in October 1981.

The first of two ATR - 42 prototype flew for the first time on August 16, 1984 . Italian and French government awarded certification in September 1985 and the first ATR - 42 entered airline service on December 9, 1985 .

Early ATR - 42-300 is the standard production version of the ATR - 42 family until 1996 and has a capacity of greater variety and higher takeoff weight of the prototype . The same ATR - 42-320 ( also withdrawn in 1996 ) differed in having more powerful PW - 121 machines for hot and high performance is better, whereas ATR - 42 Cargo is change good / fast version of 42-300 passengers .

ATR -42 - 500 is a significantly improved version of the first plane and the interior features a revised , stronger PW - 127Es to significantly increase the cruising speed ( 565km/h/305kt ) driving six propeller - propeller blades , a 1850km ( 1000nm ) maximum reach, efis cockpit , elevators and rudder extending ATR - 72 ( described separately ) , plus new brakes and landing gear , and strengthened wing and body weight of the aircraft to a higher level. First ATR - 42-500 deliveries in October 1995 .

ATR is part of the Aero International ( Regional ) , a consortium of regional aircraft which was established in January 1996 to incorporate ATR , Avro and Jetstream . AI ( R ) handle sales, marketing and support for both Atrs , plus RJS Avro and Jetstream 41, until liquidation in mid-1998 when the ATR regained its independence .

In mid-2000, ATR launches cargo conversion program for both -42 and -72 , which involves installing advanced freight door and modify the cabin for delivery.

Aerospatiale N 262

Aerospatiale N 262

The Aerospatiale ( Nord Aviation) 262A is a short distance commuter jet machining up to 29 passengers. Originally known as Super Broussard MH262 , Nord 262 was designed by former la Société des Avions Max Holste . Development of 17 seat commuter light aircraft , known as MH250 Super Broussard began in 1957 . Prototype MH250 , supported by two Pratt & Whitney Wasp - 1830 piston engine , first flew on May 20, 1959 . It was quickly realized that the turboprop aircraft should work and further development of the aircraft resulted MH260 grow and supported by Turbomeca Bastan turboprop . In October 1959, Avions Max Holste signing a co - production with Nord Aviation until new aircraft could be produced . On February 16, 1960 Cessna Aircraft became a 49% shareholder in la Société des Avions Max Holste , entitled Nouvelle Société des Avions Max Holste .


The name was later changed to Reims Aviation SA Prototype MH260 , the F - WJDV , flew on July 29, 1960 . Ten MH260 with the rectangular plane built by Nord Aviation in Nord 260. In 1961 from a significant redesign of the Nord 260. It leads to Nord 262 with a redesigned fuselage of a uniform circle , pressure and more powerful powerplants . This pressure Nord 262 first flew on December 24, 1962 . On January 1, 1970 the three major French aircraft company nationalized - Sud - Aviation , Nord Aviation and missile manufacturing company , SEREB - merged into Aérospatiale . As a result of this merger Nord 262 became Aérospatiale products . When production ended in 1976 , a total of 110 Aerospatiale ( Nord ) 262 built.

On 11 April 1970 Nord 262A OY - BCO and OY - BKR from Cimber Air Denmark A / S comes in eelde Groningen in the Netherlands . The OY - BCO first flight on March 30, 1967 as F - WNDD and served as OY - BCO to Cimber Air on July 8, 1967 . It is sold in the United States in 1977 and registered with the N274A Altair . N274A transferred to the National Commuter Airlines April 1982 ; rented to Pompano Airways in January 1984. N274A registration canceled on March 3, 1999 as the Nord sold in Honduras . In Honduras this Nord 262 operated by Aerolineas Sosa as HR - ARP .
