Delivered: 456 In service: 445 Saab 2000 The 50-seat high-speed turboprop developed from the Saab 340 features a larger wing, R-R AE2100 turboprops and an advanced flightdeck. After a first flight in March 1992, it entered service with Crossair in 1995. Production ended in 1999. Saab is looking into freighter conversion options for the type and says conversions are probably at least five years away. Delivered: 60 In service: 58 SHAANXI AIRCRAFT (SAC) SAC, PO Box 34, Chenggu, Shaanxi 723213, China Tel: +86 (916) 2202156 Fax: +86 (916) 216302 Y-8 The four-engined Y-8 turboprop is developed from the Antonov An-12B Cub transport. It can carry 14 passengers in the pressurised forward portion of the cabin, and 136.6m3 of cargo in an aft hold. Last year, Shaanxi Aircraft (part of AVICII - see Aviation Industries of China) flew an upgraded version with a three-crew cockpit and Honeywell avionics. Normal Y-8s require five crew. The prototype Y-8F400 is also to be re-engined with P&WC PW150A turboprops. The changes are expected to boost payload/range performance, reduce operating costs and improve reliability. The programme is being funded by the government. Launch customer is thought to be the China postal service.

First flying in 1998, it fea tures a 2m fuselage stretch and strengthened structure, increasing MTOW by 40% to 5,675kg. Although the aircraft can accommodate 15-17 pas sengers, initial FAA certification is as a "combi" (nine passengers, plus freight).

The $6.5-7 million high-wing turboprop is powered by two GE CT7-9Bs, rated at 1,300kW, and features a twin-tail boom design. The prototype has room for 26 passengers, although four more air frames in final assembly at KnAAPO have 34 Length (m) Wingspan (m) Height (m) Wing area (m1) Cabin width (m) Max take-off weight (kg) Max landing weight (kg) B Plus 19.73 21.44 6.97 41.81 2.16 13,155 12,930 Operating empty weight (kg) 8,140 Max zero fuel weight (kg) Max payload (kg) 12,020 3,880 Powerplant 2 x 1,394kW GE CT7-9B F Standard fuel capacity (I) Normal operating speed (kt Max cruise speed (kt) Max operating altitude (ft) Take-off field length (m) Landing field length (m) Accommodation (typical) 3,220 250 285 25,000 1,290 1,035 37 Design range with pax 1.551km/35 2000 27.28 24.76 8.09 55.74 2.16 23,000 22,000 14,500 20,000 5,500 2 x 3.096kW t-RAE2100A 5,300 365 370 31,000 1,340 1.240 50 2,110km/50 1.4m-longer fuselages and can seat 32 passen gers. The first will be completed by the third quarter of next year for structural testing while two airwor thy aircraft will be completed by the end of 2003, and one in 2004. The certification programme calls for 900 flights to be completed in 2004. The CT7 engines will be produced under licence by NPO Saturn (formerly Rybinsk Motors). Sukhoi is also evaluating military versions: for Malaysia, as a maritime patrol aircraft (MPA); and for the Russian defence ministry, which would prob ably use the 1,860kW Klimov TV7-117S engine in place of the CT7. An S-80 MPA would have an endurance of 10h. Production Production will be undertaken at the KnAAPO plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in eastern Siberia.
