The Q400 NextGen aircraft is the most technologically advanced, largest, fastest, quietest and most comfortable regional turboprop in the world.
Airlines everywhere are today enjoying the full profit potential of the advanced capabilities of this high-performance, high-profit alternative to a jet, and the optimized aircraft for short-haul operations in the 70- to 86-seat segment.
Advanced Propulsion
The Newest Spin on Propulsion
With nearly twice the horsepower of conventional turboprops, the 5,071 shp PW150A is the most advanced commercial turboprop engine available today. Featuring Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC), centralized diagnostics and low fuel consumption and emissions, the engine allows theQ400 NextGen aircraft to offer significantly lower operating and maintenance costs.
The Q400 aircraft features six-bladed, all-composite Dowty propellers that deliver more thrust and less noise than propellers turning at higher revolutions per minute (RPM).
Composite Propeller Benefits
Low weight, high strength
Freedom from corrosion
High resistance to fatigue
Damage-tolerant, and easily repairable
On-hub blade replacement
Balance data collected by NVS
Advanced Flight Deck
Proprietary Coolness
The cockpit of the Q400 NextGen aircraft is fitted with an advanced avionics suite from Thales. With less weight and fewer parts, the 5-screen LCD cockpit offers pilots enhanced situational awareness and flexibility than older technology avionics.
The Q400 aircraft’s avionics suite also features a centralized diagnostic system to help pilots and mechanics quickly resolve problems. The modular design makes the system easy to upgrade and add optional equipment and capabilities like:
Thales V810 with five-screen EFIS/EICAS
UNS-1E FMS single or dual
Traffic alert & collision avoidance system (TCAS) v7.1
Capabilities: Coupled VNAV+, SBAS/WAAS LPV+, RNP AR+, ADS-B Out+, EGPWS, ACARS+, HGS+, MicroQAR+, Class 2 EFB
Active Noise & Vibration Suppression
Pro-Peace and Quiet
The unique ANVS (Active Noise and Vibration Suppression) system renders noise and vibration levels below those of even some jets—technology that represents a leap forward for turboprops. No wonder the “Q” stands for Quiet.
