Saab 2000

"The Saab 2000 is one of the fastest turboprop airplanes in the world with a cruise-speed of over 665 km/h. It is a modified version of the Saab 340. Saab decided to build the Saab due to demand for a high speeds a turboprop could do which was close to the speeds of jet aircraft while retaining the efficiency of the turboprop engines. The Saab 2000 entered into service in 1994. The Saab 2000 has a greater wingspan than the Saab 340, and being over 24 ft. 9 in. (7.55m) longer could fit up to 50 passengers. The 2000 was the first commercial aircraft to use Rolls-Royce AE 2100 turbo-shaft engines, driving slow turning six-bladed Dowty propellers. One engine was mounted on each wing. Saab stopped production of the Saab 2000 in 1999 mainly because of the success of low-cost regional jets such as the Embraer ERJ-145 and the Canadair CRJ-200, which provided better performance and passenger comfort for the same price. In 2000, only 55 Saab 2000 airplanes were in service. In November 2006 a total of 44 Saab 2000 aircraft remain in airline service.
