Abstract
THE Short SD3‐30 is a wide‐bodied Feederliner optimised for commuter and regional air services. The aircraft has been designed to accommodate up to 30 passengers with baggage plus 3 crew or 7500 lb of freight (3400 kg) and thus conforms with the new Part 298 Regulation of the United States Civil Aeronautics Board. Its operating economics are optimum over sectors of 100 to 300 nautical miles (185 km to 555 km). A large forward loading door capable of accepting ‘D’ size containers is available which facilitates use of the aircraft in mixed passenger/freight configurations. The aircraft will be fully certificated to US Federal Aviation Regulations Part 25 and to British Civil Airworthiness Requirements Group A category.
