ATR-42 Family

[BobbyRobert]

To go with Misha’s lovely ATR 72 request, here is one for the smaller variant, the ATR 42.

The ATR 42 is the only 50 seat aircraft currently in production, (ATR.com) and is what the ATR 72 is based off of. Introduced in 1984, with a standard configuration of 48 seats, and is 22.7m (~74’) long, with a 24.6m (80’) wingspan.

The take-off runway required at MTOW is about 3,822ft, with a maximum altitude of 25,000 feet, and a top speed at cruise of 266 knots.

I would like this aircraft in Infinite Flight because it would be a great companion to the CRJ 200 which is the only aircraft of that size in Infinite Flight. Another cool feature is it’s ability to land on unpaved runways. It also has many operators, and some airlines that cannot operate a larger aircraft operate this family instead. Here are some of the operators.

Operators:

Silver Airways (20 on order)
HOP! (12 in service)
Aeromar (15 in service)
Empire Airlines (11 Freighters along with 4 for Ohana by Hawaiian)
FedEx Express (25 in Feeder Fleet)

If I missed any big ones, please let me know.

Votes are very much appreciated.

Great Request! It wouldn’t hurt to see some old operators too.

The ATR 72 is a separate request, made by a unicorn. Here’s the link to that one.

ATR-72 Family

Entering service in 1989, the ATR-72 family has proven to be a brilliant little group of aircraft. The -72 was a stretched design of the -42, seating a maximum of 78 passengers. The ATR has been used for both commercial, cargo and military operations, with notable operators being Azul, Air New Zealand and Firefly. Specifications: Capacity: 68-78 Passengers (with club 2 seating). A 70-passenger configuration is the most used. Length: 27.17 m (89 ft 2 in) Wingspan: 27.05 m (88 ft 9 in) Width:…

Fedex feeder operate 25 ATR 42-300F’s through contract airlines. Other than that brilliant topic and i love the aircraft. I saw an ATR-72 of air nostrum at LEIB (ibiza airport) from very close proximity which was awesome.

Czech airlines has a huge number of those lil bees.
If it comes to IF I wish they are as loud as in RL ;-)

You just made my day. Sorry Misha🤷‍♂️

If they are different types of planes, then this should stay up.

[BobbyRobert]

I don’t think it was ever a question of whether or not they’re separate. It’s like the 737 NG versus the 737 MAX.

[JT_Playz]

But if it were an addition or a rework, then I’m sure it would be included. (If enough data was received…)

Shoutout to the recently bumped FedEx ATR 42. One of the best liveries for this aircraft in my opinion. (The First Air livery looks good too)

With another prop, the ATR-42 wanted in Infinite Flight, I am requesting the largest ATR-42 operator, FedEx. [image] Aka. FedEx Feeder

The Aer Lingus Regional livery would look amazing on this!

Speaking of livery requests, I’ve got another one:

Aer Lingus Regional (Stobart Air) ATR-42-600

[IMG_8446] (Photo taken by me) Aer Lingus Regional currently operate 1 ATR 42-600 for short haul flights (Reg: EI-GEV). It was put into service in February of this year to replace the aging ATR 42-300’s. I would love to see this aircraft on Infinite Flight in this livery! Vote for the ATR-42 Family here: ATR-42 Family

[BobbyRobert]

Bump. IF only has one 50 seater, and no turboprops that size.

[alexandre.g]

This feature has only 3 votes !?!

[BobbyRobert]

Just a bump because this was linked to as an active feature request. I guess let’s make it one?
