Still Canadas most successful commercial aircraft program with more than 800 built, the Twin Otter remains popular for its rugged construction and useful STOL performance. Development of the aircraft began in 1964, with the first flight on May 20, 1965. A twin-engined replacement for the single-engined Otter. To bush operators, the improved reliability of turboprop power and the improved performance of a twin-engined configuration made it an immediately popular alternative to the single engine, piston-powered Otter.
The WILD Twin Otter is actually the Series 300 variant, which was introduced from the 231st production aircraft in 1969. It too featured the lengthened nose, but also introduced more powerful engines, and higher takeoff weight. The aircraft was made by Premier Aircraft Design using Gmax.
