Known for its stability at slower speeds, the Twin Otter is capable of surveying between 90-140 knots over the ground, making it ideal for missions that require a slower aircraft for data collection.

The Twin Otter’s legendary versatility is built on a solid foundation of reliable technology and recognized service. It accommodates 19 passengers in two seating areas. The DHC-3/CC-123/CSR-123 Otter was used until 1980 by the Royal Canadian Air Force and its successor, the Air Command of the Canadian Forces. When the first Twin Otter was introduced in 1966, it could come straight from the factory fitted with floats, skies, or the more typical fixed triangle landing gear. Le Twin Otter DHC6-300 est un avion qui a été pensé pour décoller et atterrir sur des pistes courtes. The propeller can turn at a continuous rate of 2,200 rpm.

J'avais cette idée la depuis longtemps, de faire une maquette de Twin Otter au 1/72.

Bonjour à tous. After an extensive market analysis was conducted, it was determined that an overwhelming demand existed to bring the Twin Otter back into production, thus the Viking Series 400 Twin Otter Production Program was announced in 2007. Offered as a versatile airframe that can be customized for unique configuration requirements, the Guardian 400’s low acquisition cost and flexible architecture allows operators to mix and match sensors and interior layouts to meet their specific mission profiles. Both primary cabin doors are mounted on both sides of the body.Viking DHC-6 uses a Honeywell Peak IFR electronic flight deck, which suits pilots as well as co-pilots. Designed as a rugged Short Take Off and Landing (“STOL”) commuter, the Twin Otter was capable of carrying passengers and cargo into remote unimproved locations, including ski and water-based operations.The Twin Otter aircraft have been sold around the world to customers operating in the harshest environments, including sub-zero temperatures in Antarctica, the hottest deserts of North Africa, the mountainous regions of the Himalayas, and the open water of the Indian Ocean archipelagos. The first production aircraft was delivered in 2010 and by mid 2015, 75 of the new series had been delivered.The Series 400 Twin Otter picks up where the original De Havilland Series 300 Twin Otter left off, introducing upgraded Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34 engines, fully integrated Honeywell Primus Apex digital avionics suite, internal and external LED lighting, and approximately 800 other modifications incorporated to improve upon the original production model.However, like its predecessor, the Series 400 Twin Otter retains the ability to operate economically, safely and reliably from remote and unimproved airfields due to its robust design, equalized A Special Missions variant of the Series 400, the Twin Otter Guardian 400, has also been developed for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations.

It is often said that the only thing that can replace a Twin Otter is another Twin Otter, which explains the high demand in the market to keep the nearly 500 remaining legacy aircraft in operation.To date, Viking has sold hundreds of aircraft to commercial, corporate, government and private operators in 30 countries around the world. Offered as a versatile airframe that can be customized for unique configuration requirements, the Guardian 400’s low acquisition cost and flexible architecture allows operators to mix and match sensors and interior layouts to meet their specific mission profiles. A testimony to its rugged construction and incredible STOL performance, the Twin Otter became the best-selling 19 passenger aircraft of all time, still unmatched for its dependability and versatility.In 2005, Viking purchased the Type Certificates for all of the out-of-production De Havilland aircraft (DHC-1 through DHC-7), including the Twin Otter. Each engine is geared up with 2 props, 3 Hartzell blades constructed from aluminum.

Viking DHC-6 Twin Otter Cockpit and Avionics Viking DHC-6 offers a Honeywell Apex IFR digital flight deck, which accommodates pilots and co-pilots.
