Aerospatiale ATR 42-500

Aerospatiale ATR 42-500 Information

General Presentation

ATR 42-500 is the latest development of the ATR 42. Interesting case of in-service experience of around 700 ATR aircraft flying worldwide, with average dispatch reliability of more than 99.6 % .

Thanks to Pratt and Whitney Canada PW127E machine , ATR 42-500 offers :

A cruising speed of 300 kt

A quick climb from 1,500 ft to 17,000 ft in less than 10 minutes

Take - off and single exceptional engine performance maintained even in hot and high conditions

Excellent short- field performance and affordability step approach

Performance

ATR 42-500 offers a combination of high overall performance and amenities in its class , while maintaining a competitive cost efficiency, which is the brand image of ATR .

ATR 42-500 extensive secondary structure is made of corrosion-resistant composite material .

Operating weight with standard adjustable Generous new regulations provide the ATR 42-500 with a maximum reach out and 840 Nm or 370 Nm from way back without refueling, both full passenger payload .

Short and narrow runway, hot and high airport , claiming the airport is day-to- day environment of the ATR 42-500 worldwide. From Latin America to the Asia - Pacific , everywhere in Europe and the Middle East and Africa climate grace , ATR 42-500 provides unmatched flexibility and reliability , resulting in revenue and profit for regional flights .

Comfort

ATR 42-500 provides passengers with on-board facilities and services comparable to a jet plane

High ceilings Cruise around 7,000 m ( 21,000 ft) with attached stability

Large overhead garbage including holdings to facilitate passengers and crew movement along the cabin

Optimized view ( windows more than a row of seats)

Individual reading lights and cabin staff call system

Quiet cabin , comfortable and spacious with a new list item design

ATR 42-500 cabin layout benefits from an increase in noise and vibration :

• Appendix panel and overhead trash to a structure with a specially designed damper , avoiding the transmission of vibration from the structure to the interior furnishings
• Cabin partition are treated to reduce the phenomenon of resonance in the front and rear cabin area
• Separation of new blankets with optimized thickness and made ​​of water resistant material
• Located in the rigid frame Vector - Vector
• Installation of Dynamic Vibration emphasis on the upper side of the frame and the floor beams , greatly reduce the transmission of sound produced by Vector - Vector
• Skin damping treatment through viscomaterial strip on the panel , reducing sound transmission to the skin

Environment

ATR always make optimal use of advanced technology to provide fuel-efficient aircraft for the aviation industry. ATR aims to develop its contribution to ensuring a sustainable future for the aviation industry , and the reconciliation of air transport growth and reducing environmental impact .

Highly efficient and operate at low speed , ATR has contributed a fraction of the emissions due to the aircraft. They operate at low altitude , had no effect on the ozone layer and upper atmosphere , and provides optimal capacity , to adapt to the needs of regional frequencies .

Materials, procedures and technologies used to produce ATR continually improved and monitored to reduce the environmental impact throughout the life cycle :

• Optimize the design of the aircraft continued to lose weight , fuel consumption, noise and pollutant emission.s.
• Integrate issues of early end-of- life aircraft design.
• Reduce waste production at source and increase the level of recycling waste.

Latest propulsion technology combined with optimally designed high -lift system to make the ATR -500 quiet neighboors New Generation aircraft . They meet the requirements of the ICAO noise with wide margins , and therefore keep the minimum environmental impact .

More efficient than the ATR 42-500 regional jet aircraft on short -haul routes : it produces about 20 % less CO2 per passenger - km from the new generation of jets and up to three times less CO2 than older ones.

Cost Efficiency

ATR 42-500 has the lowest seat fee - mile segment of the market .

At 300 Nm sector , the ATR 42-500 less fuel consumption characteristics , treatment costs and lower machine costs airport is significantly lower , when compared with the jet 50 - seater .

ATR 42-500 has the advantage of proven design and high level of similarity with other models to reduce training and maintenance costs and ensure more profits increase cost efficiency .

ATR 42-500 major gains on direct competitors are :

• Higher cruising speed
• Reduce costs associated with time
• Airport fees lower
• Lower maintenance costs fuselage
