Enter the ATR 42-600S (STOL), a marvel of innovation.
What does STOL mean in aviation?
STOL in aviation stands for ‘Short Take-off and Landing’ and it refers to aircraft that can reduce take-off and landing distances. Their special features and configurations enable them to operate in tight spots like short runways, rough terrain, or places with no prepared landing strips – or all of these at the same time.
Driven by the market’s demand for an advanced, comfortable and low-emission aircraft to serve these challenging routes, the ATR 42-600S (STOL) programme is evidence to ATR’s commitment to ever more responsible aviation, through continuous innovation, with customers’ needs at heart.
The ATR 42-600S (STOL) will be a game changer. With its increased performance and capabilities, it will offer more low-emission connectivity to thousands of communities and businesses and more opportunities for airlines, enabling access to 1,000 airports globally.
The science behind the ATR 42-600S
Unique continuous cockpit innovation for optimal operations
