Production of BN-Trislander
Hello togehter,
I've got a question to all Britten Norman connoisseur.
I've read in 2003 that BN will restart the Trislander production in the future. Until today I don't get any further information about this plan. Maybe one of you know something more?

18 Seats
The Trislander is the only contemporary 18 seat piston-engined aircraft available on the market today.
What a scary thought if thats the best British aviation is able to produce in 2007.

Worked for them many, many years ago. Standard demo trick was to shut down both wing engines so pax / potential customer could see only stationary props while still droning along. Couldn't do it for too long though as there's no genny on the No. 2 engine.

Yes, but that is not from an accurate analysis of the market (especially for new aircraft) where 99.9% of operations are off proper runways. The desire to land on beaches really disappeared 60 years ago with the advent of helicopters.
