About this type
The Q400 is the hot rod of turboprops: nearly jet speeds on propeller economics. It cruises 100 km/h faster than an ATR 72 and shows it, holding its own in jet arrival flows.
Its speed makes it easy to misjudge as a jet in your data until the type resolves, a satisfying little reveal.
First flight: January 31, 1998.
Cruises around 667 km/h, close to regional jets.
The Q stands for quiet, thanks to active noise suppression.
