Initial conversions from Heron airframes have been delivered and a slightly revised development, the ST-27A, is scheduled for first delivery in December at a list price of $500,000. Saunders is designing a successor which will not rely on the supply of bought-in airframes, a limiting consideration in the company's present production plans. By using the PT6 engine Saunders is able to keep the Canadian content of a completed ST-27 up to 85 per cent. Maker: Saunders Aircraft Corporation, Gimli, Manitoba, Canada.

Early versions of the aircraft are in service in the southern United States and in France. The aircraft was built to meet FAR Part 25 requirements and it is expected to be offered at a weight above 12,5001b to improve the payload/ range performance. Rolls-Royce is setting up assembly of the Turbomeca Astazou engines for future Jetstreams as a result of the placing of a military order for the aircraft.
