Carenado B1900 HD Series on Linux


The Beechcraft 1900 is a 19-passenger, pressurised twin-engine turboprop fixed-wing aircraft. It was designed, and is primarily used, as a regional airliner. It is also used as a freight aircraft, corporate transport, and by the United States military and other governments. The aircraft is designed to carry passengers in all weather conditions from airports with relatively short runways. It is capable of flying in excess of 600 miles (970 km). In terms of the number of aircraft built and its continued use by many passenger airlines and other users, it is one of the most popular 19-passenger airliners in history (Wikipedia)
