Operational Context
British Aerospace Jetstream 41 — 30-seat regional turboprop
The Jetstream 41 first flew in 1991 and entered airline service in 1992. It featured a stretched fuselage and redesigned wing compared with earlier Jetstream models. The aircraft was built to offer improved comfort and operating efficiency.
Powered by two AlliedSignal TPE331 turboprop engines producing approximately 1,650 shaft horsepower each, the Jetstream 41 cruises at around 285 knots (530 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight is roughly 24,000 pounds (10,900 kg). Seating capacity typically ranges from 29 to 30 passengers.
The Jetstream 41 served with regional airlines in Europe and North America. Although production numbers were limited, the type proved reliable in short-haul service. It remains in limited operation today.
