Bombardier Q-Series, also known as Dash 8, is a family of twin-engine turboprop regional aircraft, developed by de Havilland Canada in the early 1980s. The family is made up of several generations of aircraft: Series 100, 200, 300 and, of course, the Series 400, which continues to be produced by the Bombardier corporation.

@@changamanga100 This is what Merriam-Webster have to say about hijacking: hijack verb hi·jack | \ ˈhī-ˌjak \ variants: or less commonly highjack hijacked also highjacked; hijacking also highjacking; hijacks also highjacks Definition of hijack transitive verb a : to steal by stopping a vehicle on the highway b : to commandeer (a flying airplane) especially by coercing the pilot at gunpoint c : to stop and steal from (a vehicle in transit) d : KIDNAP As you can see, all definitions involve other people. If you are the ONLY one involved it's theft, not hijacking.

415 miles per hour, at 27000 feet, carrying over 90 passengers. Very impressive figures for a turboprop. I can see why it's such an impressive aircraft, and why it's so popular with airlines. Almost as comfortable as a proper jet, with performance and altitude figures not far off jet figures. Main difference being, way more impressive fuel performance and economy. Also, given its price, it's almost an unbeatable series of aircraft. Airlines love it, it's cheap to maintain, with wide-ranging parts and servicing worldwide. Brilliant design. Long live the Bombardier Q Series Dash 8.

'In a bid to save fuel for customers, Bombardier rolled out the Dash 10...a single-engined turboprop. However, customers asked for further fuel savings. This led to the Dash Zero...the first passenger plane that runs strictly on rubber bands. Before each flight, the flight crew manually winds the propellers (thus winding the large, rubber bands within them) until they reach their maximum (all the while taking EXTREME care not to release the props until they have reached full tension and have been locked). Then the plane is ready for takeoff. Fuel usage is zero. There are only two problems with the Dash Zero - the g forces at takeoff are incredibly intense AND the range of these aircraft is only about 15 miles. But Bombardier feels confident they can work these bugs out. Seriously, very interesting video...thank you.

The Dash Zero was supposed to be marketed as the Greta T -100 but Bombardier wasn't granted permission to use that name, since the production of rubber bands was deemed not environmentally friendly enough. Additionally, the manufacturers of latex could not be convinced to ship the raw materials by canoe and donkeys.

Im a horizon mechanic that works on q400s. Ill say that while this is a very good aircraft it dose have a few systems which could be improoved one is the doughy propellers which dont last all that long , and the small phanatic liner next to the bearings for the blades pitch control, it wears and throughs off the balance enough to cause most of the vibration on the aircraft. usually we can get this done in a few hours overnight but it is an expensive item to change and we do a few a week. The other item which is a daily item for us to fix is the anvs system which you mentioned. Some attenuators and there respective amplifyers are always comeing off line and need to be changed overnight. Moisture is probably one reason for them failing the insulation soaks up quite a lot of moisture from the condensation from the skin of the plane so there in a damp environment. And they freeze due to the environment we operate in.

I flew the -100's and -300's for a carrier out of KIAD, and we would take off from Newark behind an ATR and easily put 10 minutes on him going to Dulles. And if that silly ATR hit any sort of icing, they were asking for different altitudes, vectors, et cetera. Our Dash 8 just chugged through ice as if it wasn't there, while ATR's in the same conditions were trying to roll over on their backs.

@Skywalker8562 5 жыл бұрын

If I remember correctly, ATRs, along with some smaller private planes, had rubber baby bumper thumper de-icing equipment on the leading edge of the wings, and if you ran into a really heavy icing condition, then you had to put the plane down fast or it was going to take you down fast.

Sounds like you never had the “pleasure” of flying the Q400. Amazing performance for a turboprop but it feels like you’re inside a washing machine when in turbulence and its roll control is very stiff with noticeable roll inertia. That said I always enjoyed departing an airfield and ripping through 10,000 feet on the downwind departure leg! The massive power was always welcome too, although it’s very easy to overspeed it on one engine

I've flown on the Dash 8 a couple of times. I thought it was a fun ride. But I never experienced some of the Dash 8 landings like the Flugsnug KZfaq channel captures in various European storms. They are worth watching. Just a comment. I have nothing to do with the channel. And Sky... love your videos! 🙂

@Skyships Eng Thanks for your work friend. I like your Russian accent, and I live in the USA.

de Havilland Canada didn't give up on STOL with the Dash 8. Short take offs and landings weren't "rejected". It is a capable short and rough field capable aircraft - especially the earlier versions. While not a Twin Otter or a Buffalo, it goes places many other twin turboprop airliners can't. While it's often seen at major airports now, it thrives as a workhorse in more inaccessible areas of the world as well as shown by some of carriers and countries shown in this video. Great content otherwise Skyships! I love your pieces and share them often. Please keep up the good work!

Agree, Widerøes in Norway operates the Dash-8-100 on 800 meters runways.

This past week I flew on a Q400, I always love this aircraft. It is roomy, quiet and comfortable. Regional jets are none of those things.

Although the stolen aircraft may be the most famous, flight 3407 that crashed in Clarence, NY (not too far from me) killed everyone on board and 1 on the ground has changed the industry standards to make flying much safer today thanks to the families of the victims pushing congress to make it happen.

i flew on a dash 8 once with flybe from Birmingham, my only turboprop experience, was totally fine and almost as fast as jet airliners on the same route. my colleagues didnt like them though, they had some reliability and maintenance issues in recent years.

Great video, one thing is correct to an extent. The max altitude is 25k unless oxygen masks are installed then it bumps up to 27k. In practice very few operators get the oxygen masks. So for most the highest is 25 thousand ft
