The British Aerospace Jetstream, a compact twin-turboprop regional airliner developed by British Aerospace, emerged as a derivative of the preceding Handley Page Jetstream. The pivotal decision to advance the aircraft took shape in 1978 with the designation “Mark 3 Jetstream.” This new prototype featured the more potent Garrett (now Honeywell) TPE331-10UG engines, extending overhaul intervals. The finalized aircraft, named Jetstream 31, took its maiden flight in 1980, swiftly gaining recognition and success in the aviation sector.
