De Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter Aircraft

← De Havilland Dhc family

The De Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter is the legendary twin-turboprop STOL workhorse — a high-wing, fixed-gear, PT6-powered twin that operates from the shortest, roughest strips, on wheels, floats or skis, in the harshest environments on earth. From island-hopping commuter airlines to remote utility and parachute operations, the Twin Otter is unmatched, and the modern Series 400 keeps the line in production.
