the AIRCRAFT
Developed in the early 1980s by Short Brothers of Belfast, Northern Ireland, the
Shorts 360 has gained a reputation as a reliable, economical aeroplane which is
perfectly suited to short-haul regional operations. The wide, spacious cabin gives the
aircraft great passenger appeal, whilst the square cabin cross-section, large forward
door, and low cabin floor height also make it a favorite with freight customers.

Since the type's maiden flight in June 1981, the basic 360 design has been improved
with the addition of more powerful engines, higher structural weights, and updated
cockpit instrumentation. Two Canadian-built PWAC PT6A engines - probably the
most successful turboprop engine in the world - give exceptional reliability and fuel
economy. Just over 160 Shorts 360s were built, serving with airlines across the globe.

BAC's aircraft are available in passenger or freight configuration. The ability to rapidly
change from a passenger to freight interior or vice-versa gives the aeroplane great
operational flexibility. Up to 39 passengers can be transported in one of the most
spacious cabins offered in this size of airliner, and within one hour of landing the
same aeroplane can be airborne this time carrying up to 3500 kg of cargo. Dedicated
freighter versions offer an increase in payload to 3,760 Kg whilst useable volume is
30% greater than on the ‘convertible’ aircraft .

Praslin Island in the Seychelles, with its 1316 metre (4318 foot) long runway. Typical
Shorts territory!

The aircraft are fitted with a large cargo door as standard and the low door and floor
height above ground level make the aircraft easy to load and unload, without even the
simplest ground equipment such as conveyors. Loading is possible through both front
and rear doors making for very quick turnarounds. Integral airstairs at the rear
passenger door underline the need for limited ground support.

The Shorts 360 can operate comfortably from 1400 metre (4,500 foot) long runways,
opening up hundreds of airfields inaccessible by scheduled flights. Cruise speed is
about 370 km/h (215 mph), at an altitude of 10,000 feet. The PT6A turboprops are
fully ICAO Stage 3 noise-compliant, making the 360 one of the quietest turboprop
operating today. Indeed the 360 is subject to fewer restrictions on night flights into the
heavily regulated London airports than virtually all the later turboprop designs.
