About de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter
de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter Aircraft - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org : The DHC-6 Twin Otter is a 20-passenger STOL feederliner and utility aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada.
It is often called the most successful aircraft program in Canada's
history. The aircraft's fixed tricycle undercarriage, STOL abilities
and relatively high rate of climb have made it a successful cargo,
regional passenger airliner and MEDEVAC
aircraft. In additon, the Twin Otter has been popular with commercial
skydiving operations. It is generally limited to carrying 22 jumpers (a
relatively large load compared to most other aircraft in the industry);
presently, the Twin Otter is used in skydiving operations in Sweden,
Australia, USA and Norway and other nations worldwide. Development of the aircraft began in 1964, with the first flight on 20 May 1965.
A twin-engined replacement for the Otter had been planned by de
Havilland Canada. Twin engines not only provided safety but also
allowed for an increase in payload. While retaining the renowed STOL
qualities, the availability of the 500 shp Pratt and Whitney propeller
turbine from United Aircraft of Canada in the late '50s made the
concept of a twin more feasible. To bush operators, the enhanced
reliability and performance of twin engines made it an immediately
popular alternative to the single-engined Otter which had been flying since 1951. The first six aircraft produced were designated Series 1, indicating
that they were prototype aircraft. The initial production run consisted
of Series 100 aircraft, serial number seven to 115 inclusive. In 1968,
Series 200 production began with serial number 116. Changes made at the
beginning of Series 200 production included improving the STOL
performance as well as adding a longer nose that was equipped with a
larger baggage compartment (except to aircraft fitted with f...
