 AIRCRAFT DESCRIPTION
Beech announced the improved 1900D at the US
Regional Airlines Association meeting in 1989, with the prototype, a
converted 1900C, first flying on March 1 1990. Production switched
to the improved model in 1991, with first deliveries (to Mesa Air)
that November. The main change introduced on the 1900D was the
substantially deeper fuselage with standup headroom. In addition it
also introduced larger passenger and freight doors and windows, twin
ventral strakes and auxiliary horizontal fixed tails, while more
powerful engines and winglets improve hot and high performance.
The 1900D has sold particularly well. For
example the 1900D's biggest customer is Mesa Airlines, a United
Airlines feeder, which has placed total firm orders for 118. A 1900D
delivered to Impulse Airlines in Australia in March 1997 was the
500th 1900 built.
