Shorts 330

The Shorts 330 is a British regional airliner and commercial freighter aircraft developed by Short Brothers. The Shorts 330 is powered by two Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-45 turboprops providing a top speed of 352 kmh and a range of 362 km fully laden. The cabin was the result of a collaboration with Boeing engineers who modelled the interior space, fittings and decor after larger airliners.

Comfort and Size

The 330 was somewhat slower than most of its pressurised competition, but it built up a reputation as a comfortable, quiet and rugged airliner. The quiet running of the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-65R was largely due to an efficient reduction gearbox.It seats 30 passengers at a very comfortable 30-inch seat pitch.
