Mission Ready
After thousands of hours of design, each BT-67 is engineered to assure that
every component, assembly, or system is either new or the equivalent of new.
All workmanship and materials meet the highest standards of the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA). The philosophy inherent in our manufacturing
process is to exceed industry standards by following an uncompromising
approach to excellence that produces a product of the highest quality.
| Airframe: |
- Inspected and overhauled to fully
re-engineer and strengthen airframe. Returns airframe to original
specification, or exceeds original specification. Includes a
structural reinforcement package. Rated as "zero accumulated fatigue
damage".
-
Fuselage stretched 40-inches (forward of
wing).
-
Cockpit bulkhead moved forward 60-inches
to increase payload cabin volume and aerodynamic performance.
- Redesigned
outer wing leading edge and
wing tip.
|
| Payload and
Performance: | Compared to the standard DC-3,
the BT-67 has:
- 35% more
interior volume
- 43% more useful load
- 24% more speed
- Up to 100% more fuel capacity
- Lower stall speed
- Lower approach speed
- Fuel mileage equal at equal speeds
- All metal control surfaces (optional)
- Center and outer
wings reinforced in 250
places to
reduce loads on lower wing attach angles and to support the increased
maximum gross weight.
