In 1965, De Havilland Canada developed the DHC-6 Twin Otter – a high-wing, unstressed twin-engine turbine powered airplane with fixed tricycles on the ground. Designed as a rugged Short Take Off and Landing (“STOL”) commuter, the Twin Otter is capable of carrying passengers and cargo to remote, undeveloped locations, including ski and water-based operations.
Twin Otter aircraft have been sold worldwide to customers operating in the harshest environments, A testament to its rugged construction and outstanding STOL performance, the Twin Otter is the best-selling 19-passenger aircraft of all time, still unrivaled for its reliability and versatility. In addition, the Twin Otter has been popular with commercial parachuting operations used by the United States Army Parachute Team and the United States Air Force Flying Training Squadron.
