Short 360

The Short 360, also called the SD3-60, is a commuter aircraft built by the United Kingdom manufacturer Short Brothers during the 1980s. It is a larger version of the Short 330, with a three-foot fuselage plug that added two seat rows and a swept tail unit on a revised rear fuselage, so it carries up to 39 passengers. It was announced in 1980, first flew in 1981, received type certification that September and entered service in November 1982. Two Pratt and Whitney Canada turboprops power it, and Short marketed Advanced and 360/300 versions with more powerful engines and freighter variants. It operated from short 4,500 foot runways until production ceased in 1991 after 165 deliveries.
