Piloted by senior test pilot Corey Eckhart and chief test pilot Aaron Tobias, the utility twin flew for two hours and 15 minutes. (www.ainonline.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
To me, it looks like a cross between a Shorts and an ATR
Winnah.
Anyone else want to see it on floats or skis?

Will the floats will be mounted close together on the fuselage,meaning you'll need largish wing tip floats, adding drag, or will they be on substantial pylons and bracing which would also add a lot of drag ? I wonder if either float configuration will make it a fuel hog.
Or a twin engined Trislander.
That would be an Islander!
More like a Twin Otter
Agree. Looks like faster than the venerable Twotter. What a legacy to follow!
