Operational Context
Sukhoi Su-80 — twin-engine regional utility turboprop
The Su-80 first flew in 2001 as part of Sukhoi’s effort to expand into the regional transport market. The aircraft features a high wing and rear loading ramp for cargo flexibility. It was designed to operate in challenging environments across Russia and neighboring regions.
Powered by two General Electric CT7 turboprop engines producing approximately 1,750 shaft horsepower each, the Su-80 cruises at around 250 knots (460 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight is roughly 30,000 pounds (13,600 kg). The cabin can accommodate around 30 passengers depending on configuration.
Production numbers have remained limited, but the design reflects efforts to modernize regional aviation in Russia. The Su-80 combines transport and utility capability in a single platform. It represents a niche entrant in the regional turboprop segment.
