  • cabin fresh air intakes above the windows,
  • open inlet pipes protruding forward from the engine exhausts to provide exhaust-heated cabin hot air,
  • a wing leading-edge intake on the port side of each engine for the pneumatic system compressors,
  • porous strips in the wing and tail leading-edges for pumping out de-icing fluid,
  • a fully castoring nosewheel allowing turning by differential braking while taxiing,
  • a twin-tread anti-shimmy nosewheel tyre,
  • a landing light on the nosewheel bay front door.c
