Bout 350/65 Kts as reported is correct! The bonks have the same core as the J-Model Hercs operated by the RAAF. Qlink were looking at replacing the leading and trailing edge de-ice boots and utilising bleed air to heat the wings in icing conditions if required, thus extending the speed to an estimated 385kts! Yep this is one fantastic machine,
however will Mr Joe Public continue to commute in one when
VB start going head to head against this a/c (with there Ejets) one has to wonder?
