Short 330
The Short 330 (also SD3-30) is a small transport aircraft produced by Short Brothers. It seats up to 30 people and was relatively inexpensive and had low maintenance costs at the time of its introduction in 1976. The 330 was based on the SC.7 Skyvan.
==Development==
The Short 330 was developed by Short Brothers of Belfast from Short's earlier Short Skyvan STOL utility transport. The 330 had a longer wingspan and fuselage than the Skyvan, while retaining the Skyvan's square-shaped fuselage cross section, allowing it to carry up to 30 passengers while retaining good short field characteristics.〔Donald, David, ed. ''The Encyclopedia of World Aircraft''. London: Aerospace Publishing, 1997. ISBN 1-85605-375-X.〕 The first prototype of the 330 flew on 22 August 1974.〔Taylor 1988, p. 304.〕
The Short 330 is unusual in having all of its fuel contained in tanks located directly above the ceiling of the passenger cabin.〔 There are two separate cockpit doors for pilot and co-pilot for access from inside the cabin.〔http://www.airliners.net/photo/Muk-Air/Short-330-200/0890366/L/&sid=0b86b0cc7185997d97d0f26567e44912〕
While Short concentrated on producing airliners, the design also spawned two freight versions. The first of these, the Short 330-UTT (standing for ''Utility Tactical Transport''), was a military transport version fitted with a strengthened cabin floor and paratroop doors,〔Taylor 1988, p. 306〕 which was sold in small numbers, primarily to Thailand, which purchased four. The Short Sherpa was a freighter fitted with a full-width rear cargo door/ramp. This version first flew on 23 December 1982,〔 with the first order, for 18 aircraft, being placed by the United States Air Force (USAF) in March 1983, for the European Distribution System Aircraft (EDSA) role, to fly spare parts between USAF bases within Europe.〔
