Small a/c with loading ramp
I figure this is the best place to ask this question!
I'm looking to compare small a/c that have a loading ramp. So far, the only one I can see is the Casa 212.
Can anyone think of any more?

Short Skyvan
Neither the An-14 nor the AN-28/M-28 has a ramp, though both have longitudinally-hinged ventral doors.
And strictly speaking, the Skyvan doesn't have one either, at least not an integral one that can be lowered for loading as per, say, the C-130 or C-17.
I agree with the previous posters, the Ahrens and CASA are the only examples I can think of.

Shorts Sherpa has a ramp and is similar in size to the CASA 212
That was the Shorts 330/360 hybrid?

Thanks for the replies, chaps. Casa 212 looks like the most suitable contender so far... doesn't need to be as big as the AR404 or the C23. The AN28 would have been good, but its successor the AN38 is too big. And my spec is that the a/c needs to be in current production, so I can't spec the AN28 unfortunately!
Thank you again

But I though the whole point was that you wanted an aircraft with a ramp?
