The L410 began in 1966 as a Czech designed commuter aircraft for the Soviet market. Named the Turbolet it was developed to be capable of operations from unprepared strips. It has since sold well around the world. The original powerplant chosen was the all new Walter or Motorlet M 601, but this engine was not initially developed enough to power the prototypes, and Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A27s were fitted in their place. First flight occurred in 1969, and series production began in 1970. Initial production L 410s were also powered by the PT6A, and it was not until 1973 that production aircraft L 410Ms featured the M 601.
The basic L 410 was superseded from 1979 by the L 410 UVP with a 1'7"" (47cm) fuselage stretch, M 601B engines and detail refinements. The UVP was in turn replaced by the M 601E powered UVPE in which the toilet and baggage compartments were repositioned allowing more efficient seating arrangements for up to 19 passengers. The L 420 is an improved variant with more powerful M 601F engines, higher weights and improved performance designed to meet western certification requirements. First flown in 1993nd was awarded US FAA certification in May 1998. |
