twin engined turbo prop with similar speeds to a Lockheed Herc
Hi all
I'm looking for a twin engined turbo prop with similar speeds to a Lockheed Herc, the Piper Aztec will do a max speed of 210mph but thats 80mph short of the Herc's cruising speed,
So does anyone know of a type similar to the Aztec with crusing speeds around 280mph?????
Regards
Duncan
ps also needs a range of around 1200 to 1500 miles

Sure! Just not a fuel tank to supply it....
Edit: My bad, thought you wanted to use it as the tanker!
Why not save an engine and go with a PC12?

Dash 8D [Q400] and SAAB 2000 both faster than C130.
There is a trend to go over to a turbo-prop single rather than twin. Look at TBM 700 [300knots cruise], or the TBM850. www.tbm850.com

Not really an ATC thread but never mind..................what do you need this aircraft for? And how would you arrange AAR? Not really something you can just have a go at!

Actually, dunc, you might be able to afford the AN32. I wouldn't think there's much of a market for them except in parts of Africa and Asia, so go on, make an offer.
But the question remains.....what do you want it for and where exactly are you taking it and the things you want to put in it?

would it be possible to fit a aar prob to one of those things?
You could also use it as a tanker, you can fit a belly pod to hold the drogue and use internal or conformal tanks.
You might be a little low on speed though but depends how much you want to hang off the outside.
More than just an ATCO

Strange criteria for choosing an aircraft - same speed as something else
Strange forum to be asking where you can get one too.
Any black cars parked outside??

Think we are all victims of a practical joke...!
Seems we have too much time on our hands, I mean who Googles a picture of an AN32 for Pete's sake! Doh! Ok, ya got me!
