The BN-2T Turbine Islander represents a turboprop-powered evolution of the successful Islander design, offering enhanced performance for operators requiring greater capability in remote environments. First flown in 1977 as a prototype, the production version entered service in 1981. This twin-engine high-wing aircraft accommodates up to 10 passengers and features twin Allison 250-B17C turboprops producing 400 shaft horsepower each. With its 49-foot wingspan and emphasis on payload capacity over speed, the BN-2T was manufactured by Britten-Norman.
