ATR 72
The ATR-72 is a regional turboprop aircraft manufactured by ATR. It first flew in 1988. The aircraft has a capacity of up to 78 passengers and can be used for short and medium-haul flights. The ATR-72 is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100 turboprop engines, which allow it to reach a maximum speed of around 509 kilometres per hour and a maximum range of approximately 1,665 kilometres. The aircraft has a high-lift wing, which allows it to operate from short and unpaved airfields. The ATR-72 is used for regional flights around the world. It is popular for its reliability, low fuel consumption and ability to operate at smaller airports that are not accessible to larger transport aircraft. The aircraft is also used for special missions such as reconnaissance, rescue and humanitarian missions.
