Penzoil3 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 A turbine DC-3 is a Basler. LOL Sue Basler BT-67 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia BT-67 A Kenn Borek Air Basler BT-67 at Williams Field, Antarctica (2008) Role Cargo aircraft Manufacturer Basler Turbo Conversions Introduction January 1990 Number built 58[1] Unit cost US$4.5 million, US$6.5 million as of 2012.[2] Developed from Douglas DC-3 The Basler BT-67 is a fixed-wing aircraft produced by Basler Turbo Conversions of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It is built on a retrofitted Douglas DC-3 airframe, with modifications designed to improve the DC-3's serviceable lifetime. The conversion includes fitting the airframe with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67R turboprop engines, lengthening the fuselage, strengthening the airframe, upgrading the avionics, and making modifications to the wings' leading edge and wing tip. Due to the slightly higher fuel consumption of the turbine engines of the BT-67, compared to the original piston designs fitted to the standard DC-3, range on the standard fuel tank, with 45 minute reserve, is reduced from 1,160 to 950 nautical miles (2,150 to 1,760 km). Basler provide a long-range fuel tank which increases the aircraft range to 2,140 nmi (3,960 km).[3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
