ATR 72-200/210

The ATR 72 is derived from the ATR 42 with a 4,5 m stretched fuselage. The two aircraft feature a high degree of commonality: the same cross section, simple systems, and cockpit for cross-crew qualification.

The ATR 72-200 is equipped with two PW124B engines, rated at 2,400 shp each. The derivative version of the basic ATR 72, the ATR 72-210 is equipped with two higher power 2,750 shp PW127 engines.

The ATR 72-200/210 standard cabin layout is 66 seats at 31-inch pitch. The dimensions of the front cargo compartment can be adapted to accommodate 64 to 72 seats, assuring that every operator can find the solution to its needs.

The main characteristics of the -210 version include excellent ”hot & high” and short field capabilities.

The ATR 72-210 also features enhancements to cabin comfort especially advanced internal noise treatment and superior cabin air conditioning. A major advantage of the ATR 72-210 is its acoustic treatment, comprising stiffened frames, Dynamic Vibration Absorbers and skin damping material, all installed in the propeller area, ensuring a very high level of passenger comfort. The PW127 engine is also fitted with an Hamilton Standard/Ratier Figeac 247F propeller, characterized by advanced wide chord composite blades and a steel hub.

The improved cooling capacity and air distribution of the air-conditioning system enhancements on the ATR 72-210 version ensure a high-level passenger comfort.
