The Short 360, first flown in 1981, represents an evolutionary development from the 330, featuring increased fuselage length and improved performance. This British twin-engine aircraft measures 21.6 meters long with a 22.8-meter wingspan, achieving 404 km/h. The Short 360's enhanced capacity and speed improvements addressed market demand for regional transport with better payload and schedule adherence. Its extended cabin accommodated increased passenger loads while maintaining the rugged operational simplicity characteristic of Short Brothers' transport aircraft.
