Turboprops

Turbine-powered propeller aircraft for short routes and smaller airports, such as the ATR 42/72 and the Dash 8.

Shorts 330

Short 330

A fuselage like a shipping container, a high wing on struts and two small fins: the Shorts 330 from Belfast is one of the most distinctive turboprops in aviation – and a rare catch today.

Shorts 360

Short 360

Boxy fuselage, strut-braced high wing, one big vertical stabilizer: the Shorts 360 is the stretched successor to the Shorts 330 – and today it mostly flies as a freighter.

Shorts SC.7 Skyvan

Short SC.7 Skyvan

A fuselage like a shoebox, fixed landing gear and a rear ramp that parachutists walk out of: the Skyvan from Belfast is Europe’s most idiosyncratic STOL transport and is still in service today.
