Ibis Aerospace Ae270

1 aircraft

The Aero Ae-270 Propjet was an ambitious Czech-Taiwanese turboprop utility aircraft that achieved certification but never reached commercial production. First flown on July 25, 2000, it was a single-engine pressurized monoplane designed to carry up to nine passengers or cargo with a useful load of 3,300 pounds. Measuring over 64 feet in length with retractable landing gear, it was powered by an 850-horsepower Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42A turboprop. The aircraft was developed by IBIS Aerospace, a joint venture between Czech manufacturer Aero Vodochody and Taiwan's Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation.
