| Description |
The Handley Page HPR.7 Dart Herald is a British turboprop passenger aircraft, designed in the 1950s as a DC-3 replacement, but only entering service in the 1960s by which time it faced stiff competition from Fokker (F27 Friendship) and Avro (Avro/Hawker Siddeley HS748). |
The ATR 52 was a project to develop a military transport aircraft and a 50-seat airliner to add to ATR's product range. |
