British Aerospace Jetstream 32

The British Aerospace Jetstream 32, also called the Jetstream Super 31, is the engine-upgraded version of the Jetstream 31 twin turboprop commuter airliner. Scottish Aviation took over the original Handley Page Jetstream design and was nationalised into British Aerospace in 1978, which then developed the re-engined Jetstream 31 with Garrett turboprops. A further engine upgrade was planned in 1985 and flew in 1988 as the Jetstream 32, and production of the 31 and 32 continued until 1993, by which time 386 had been built. In 1993 British Aerospace adopted the Jetstream name as the brand for its twin turboprop aircraft, covering the 31, the 32 and the stretched Jetstream 41. The 32EP was an enhanced performance, 19 passenger variant. The type is still flown by small airlines and charter operators and has been involved in several well documented accidents.
