9 hour flight - jetdude43 - 24-03-2006
hi, what propeller aircraft can fly for 9 hours, if it can fly more even better if there isnt any il hav to swich to a small jet, im doin it in a small
aircraft because i hardly ever use them so i guess i wanna see what its like. im thinking of maybe the twin otter but im pretty sure it cant

Re: 9 hour flight - jetdude43 - 24-03-2006
i heard somewhere that the pilatus pc-12 can, is that true?
Re: 9 hour flight - ivo - 24-03-2006
Why do you need 9 hours? What's the range you need to cover? If you have tailwind, you'll be able to get a better range.
Re: 9 hour flight - jetdude43 - 24-03-2006
im still looking for where im going to start and where im going to land, any ideas?, and like i already asked is it true that the pilatus pc-12
can fly for 9 hours?
Re: 9 hour flight - DBE - 25-03-2006
As its max range is approx 4'000 km, I'd guess 8 hours would be pretty much as far as it could manage..

Probably a Pilatus PC-12 can. Its got a 2000+ NM range. Just reduce the throttle way back. It can fly as slow as 120 KTS (or even less) IAS. So there you go. Actually, you'd be surprised at how many propeller driven planes have an edurance of 9 hours or more. The Twin Otter IS pretty short ranged though.
Here's some others that should fill the bill (most probably have to be configured with "max", "optional", or "reserve" fuel, and flown on pretty low power settings)
Piper Malibu Mirage
Beech D-18
Lake Renegade
Extra 400
Beech Baron
Diamond DA-42
There are plenty of others.

Re: 9 hour flight - jetdude43 - 25-03-2006

Re: 9 hour flight - fruitfly - 25-03-2006
No answer??? I thought I gave you one - zeppelin!
But if you want something heavyer than air, ATR should do the trick. Check out this thread:

Re: 9 hour flight - Leftcoaster - 25-03-2006
All of these propliners have 9-hours endurance or better.
CalClassic DC-6B, DC-7C, B-377 Stratocruiser and Boeing 314 Clipper.
JBK Short S.30, Solent and Sanderingham flying boats.
George Diemer's Sikorsky VS-44
FSDZIGN's L-049 Constellation
Dimitri Samborski's TU-114
On the military side the GMAX P-3C, Dave Garwood's Lancaster BIII, the GS B-29 and any accurate C-130 Hercules can fly for nine hours
or better.
Cheers
