The Short SC.7 Skyvan, nicknamed the Flying Shoebox, is a British 19-seat twin-turboprop utility aircraft made by Short Brothers of Belfast, Northern Ireland. It has a rugged all-metal design with a braced high aspect ratio wing, a square-section unpressurised fuselage with twin fins and rudders, and a large rear door that made it popular with freight operators and gave it short take-off and landing ability. The prototype first flew in January 1963 with piston engines and was soon re-engined with turboprops, and production later moved from Astazou to Garrett engines. Short built 149 including the two prototypes before production ended in 1986, and the Short 330 and 360 were developed from it.
