Category:Supercam S350

The Supercam S350, produced by the French aerospace firm Supercam, entered service in 2012 as the company’s first high‑performance, twin‑engine turboprop aimed at the demanding regional and utility markets. Its development stemmed from the earlier Supercam 300 series, incorporating lessons learned from the rugged S300’s success in remote‑area operations throughout Africa and South America. The S350’s airframe combines a carbon‑fiber reinforced composite fuselage with a semi‑monocoque aluminum wing, delivering a 15 percent reduction in empty weight while retaining a robust design for unpaved runway use. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney PT6A‑67A turboprop engines, the aircraft generates 1 350 shp each, enabling a cruise speed of 360 kt, a range of 1 800 nm, and a service ceiling of 31 000 ft. Avionics are centered around the Garmin G5000 suite, offering glass‑cockpit displays, synthetic vision, and advanced autopilot capabilities. With a flexible cabin that can be configured for up to 19 passengers, cargo, or med‑evac roles, the S350 has become a favored platform for short‑haul airlines, government agencies, and humanitarian missions. Its blend of efficiency, versatility, and modern technology has solidified the Supercam S350 as a landmark in 21st‑century regional aviation.
