SAAB 340 The initial production version of the Saab 340, the 340A, was flown in January 1983, and entered service in June 1984. Saab introduced an improved version of the GE CT7-powered 3 3 -seat aircraft in 1989, the 340B, which offered better hot-and-high performance. The latest model, the 340BPlus, was launched in February 1994,offering further improvements in airfield performance, a higher take-off weight and a redesigned passenger-cabin. Extended wingtips for die 340BPlus were certificated by Transport Canada in late 1995, and by the FAA in early 1996. Extended wingtips are optional, and can not be retrofitted to existing aircraft. Production Saab 340 production is integrated with riiat of the 2000 at Saab's Linkoping plant. Saab delivered some 26 340s during 1996. Ordered 436 Delivered 413 SAAB 2000 A major stretched development of die Saab 340, the 50-seat Saab 2000, powered by Allison AE2100 turboprops, had its first flight in March 1992, and entered service with Crossair in 1995. The aircraft, offering a relatively fast cruise speed(360kt)and quiet cabin, is pitched by Saab as a high-speed-turboprop alternative to die 50-seat regional jets. The company has struggled, howev er, to met its guaranteed internal-cabin-noise lev els of 76dB. An improvement kit for die active noise-control system is bringing noise levels down to 78dB, and die propeller shafts are lengdiened to reduce interference with the air intakes, further reducing cabin noise. This also required retuning of die active noise-control system. In early 1997, Saab Group president Bengt Halse quashed speculation that the Swedish group may dispose of its civil-aircraft business, but it was revealed that it had taken a heavy charge to write off development costs of the 2000, and to pay for market "repositioning" . A passenger/cargo combi version of the 2000 is also offered, seating between 16 and 34 pas sengers, plus cargo. Its layout can be changed through the use of a movable cargo bulkhead. Early this year, Saab made a breakthrough in the Japanese market, with the securing of an order from the Japanese transport ministry for two Saab 2000s for flight-inspection duties. In July, Crossair received JAA certification for the Flight Dynamics head-up guidance sys tem (HUGS) on its Saab 2000 fleet, which will enable Crossair crews to perform landings in poor visibility. Production The final assembly line is at Linkoping, with production integrated with that of the 340. Saab delivered 11 2000s in 1996.
