Similar to the Series 200, it uses the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW123 engine. It introduces a longer airframe that stretches 3.45 meters (11 ft 3.2 in) beyond the Series 100/200. The Series 300 can accommodate 50–56 passengers. It uses the more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PW123 engines rated at 2,150 shp (1,600 kW). The Series 200 maintains the same 37–39 passenger airframe as the Series 100. Rated engine power is 1,800 shp (1,340 kW). The original engine was the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW120-later units used the PW121. Of all Dash-8s, this series has the shortest fuselage. The Series 100 entered into service in 1984 and was the original 37- to 39-passenger version of the Dash 8.

The program was bought by Boeing in 1988, sold to Bombardier in 1992, and then resold to Viking Air parent company, Longview Aviation Capital, in early 2019. Introducing the Bombardier Dash 8 Aircraft The Complete Guide to the Bombardier Dash 8 Aircraft (Click on the image to zoom into the material) It was later sold to Bombardier in 1992 and then resold to Viking Air parent company, Longview Aviation Capital, in early 2019.įor quick reference, a summary of all infographic information is located below the image. The program gained popularity throughout the mid-1980s and was bought by Boeing in 1988. It was introduced into service the following year on October 23, 1984, by NorOntario, the first airline to order and take delivery of the aircraft. This aircraft series achieved first flight on June 20, 1983, with the Dash 8 Series 100. This makes the Dash 8 an ideal aircraft for short-haul regional airlines. While it does not have the same level of STOL performance as the Dash 7, the Dash 8 is larger, faster, extremely versatile, and even more robust it can operate from small airports, utilize unpaved runways, and is capable of carrying between 82 and 90 passengers. It combines common turboprop attributes with jet-like features. The aircraft, which was developed from the Dash 7, boasts improved cruise performance, lower operational costs, and is less expensive to maintain than its predecessor. The Bombardier Dash 8 (DHC-8) aircraft is a series of turboprop-powered regional airliners that were originally manufactured by de Havilland Canada. It highlights the aircraft’s vital statistics, specifications, and available variants. The Complete Guide to the Bombardier Dash 8 Aircraft was created using information sourced from Wikipedia’s “ Bombardier Dash 8” article and Bombardier’s “ Q Series” brochure.
