Det lover ikke bra med tanke på Widerøe og flere andre operatører behøver en ny utgave av -100/200.

Jeg vil si det er ett steg nærmere å få produsert nye utgaver. Men om det er nok steg er jeg ikke sikker på. Viking har jo gjenopplivet twinOtter, så kanskje er Dash 8 100/200 neste.
 
Re: Viking tar over Q400/Dash 8 programmet

Longview/de Havilland er inne på tanken med å både oppgradere Dash-8 og også gjøre comeback med en 50 seter

https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/analysis-de-havilland-eyes-dash-8-resurgence-460454/

De Havilland, a unit of Longview Aviation Capital, has only run the Dash 8 programme for three months, but it is already planning product upgrades and a North American sales push.

Such updates likely include new cockpit technologies and efficiency improvements, though De Havilland is also considering new variants including a 50-seater, the Toronto company's chief operating officer Todd Young tells FlightGlobal.

Viking/De Havilland vurderer nå både en "NEO" av Q400 og også komme med både lengre og kortere varianter

https://atwonline.com/atw-location/dubai-airshow-2019-de-havilland-might-re-engine-dash-8-400

De Havilland Aircraft of Canada is looking at the possibility of fitting new engines to the Dash 8-400, the company’s COO.

A further stretch, and possibly also a shortening, of the regional turboprop’s fuselage is also being considered, Todd Young said.

de Havilland utdyper litt mer om sine planer fremover. En utgave med 50-60 seter, basert på Dash8-400 design ser ut til å være første trinn. Lenger ferm kan en forlenget utgave med rundt 100 seter også være aktuell.
“We’ve been starting initial discussions on possible variants of the aircraft,” said Todd Young, De Havilland’s chief operating officer. “This would be a shorter aircraft in the range of 50 to 60 seats. That would be a possible replacement to the original Dash 8-300, albeit based on a Dash 8-400 configuration.”

Hvor mye kortere rullebane vil en teoretisk 50-60 seters «Q300» trenge og hvilke muligheter åpner det opp?

Men er det i det hele tatt noen mulighet for at dette først og fremst bare øker setekostnaden?
 
ATR forteller iallefall at det var relativt små endringer som skulle til da de utviklet ATR42-600S som skal kunne brukes på rullebaner ned til 800 meters lengde.
Så da er det kanskje en mulighet til at de Havilland tenker i de samme (rulle)baner?
ATR regional sales director Jean-Daniel Kosowski told Australian Aviation in October 2018 the work on the 42-600S was “not a huge modification”.

“In simple terms it is basically using the rating power of the 72 on the 42 and having better brakes,” Kosowski said.
“And the aileron just needs to be changed a little because if you have a more powerful engine if there is one engine out on takeoff, you need to be sure that the rudder can compensate.”
“It’s all about this. It’s not a huge modification.”

Hvis ATR42 skal bli et ¨godt¨ alternativ til -100/Q200 (For Widerøe), må ATR se på en bedre løsning for lasterom. Todelt lasterom framme ved cockpit og innpresset lasterom bak galley gjør det svært utfordrende med tanke på frakt / elektriske rullestoler osv. i kombinasjon med de korte bakketoppene som WF opererer med.
 
De Havilland fortsetter produktutviklingen for Q400, nå med å kunne ettermontere større bagasjehyller. NAC er visstnok launch customer for fly de leaser ut

https://www.aviation24.be/manufactu...8-400-nordic-aviation-capital-first-customer/

De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited announced today that Nordic Aviation Capital will be the launch customer for the Classic Overhead Bin Extension Solution for the Dash 8-400 aircraft.

The cost-efficient and environmentally friendly solution provides additional stowage volume in the Dash 8 aircraft’s cabin and is the perfect solution to meet growing customer requirements for more baggage space.

Konkursen i FlyBe skaper potensielt utfordringer for Longview/Viking her, etter som de var den største operatøren av Q400, og dermed flommer markedet over av brukte maskiner. I tillegg holder jo flere operatører som Austrian, AirBaltic etc å fase ut sine

https://www.flightglobal.com/programmes/what-flybes-demise-means-for-the-dash-8/137122.article

Flybe’s collapse is a serious blow for De Havilland Canada’s Dash 8-400 programme as the UK regional carrier was the turboprop’s largest operator.
