The Bombardier Dash 8 or Q
Series, previously known as the de Havilland Canada Dash 8 or DHC-8 is a
series of twin-engine, medium-range, turboprop airliners.
Introduced by de Havilland Canada
(DHC) in 1984, they are now produced by Bombardier Aerospace. Over 1,000
Dash 8s of all models have been built. |
The Dash 8 was developed from the
de Havilland Canada Dash 7, which featured extreme short take-off and
landing (STOL) performance. With the Dash 8, DHC focused on improving cruise
performance and lowering operational costs. The engine chosen was the Pratt
& Whitney Canada PW100.
The aircraft has been delivered in four series. The Series 100 has a maximum
capacity of 39, the Series 200 has the same capacity but offers more
powerful engines, the Series 300 is a stretched, 50-seat version, and the
Series 400 is further stretched to 78 passengers.
Bombardier currently markets the aircraft as the Q Series, complementing the
company's CRJ Series aircraft.
