Behold Hindustan Aeronautics NAL-70:

So, a Dash 8 with winglets then.

That's exactly what that is... so... Bombardier... pissed or flattered?

NAL is eyeing a composite airframe. The aircraft will be powered by two "next-generation turboprop engines", it adds. It would have a fly-by-wire control system, open distributed modular avionics, automatic dependence surveillance - broadcast navigation capabilities, and advanced displays.


Completely over engineered too if the article proves to be accurate. Fly by wire in such an aircraft is like covering the wings of the A380 in fabric and dope, pointless

Another niche market product... Will probably end up hugely overpowered for normal use
