Регистрационный номерRegistry number: G-ASCN   [8]

The prototype S.C.7 Skyvan, G-ASCN, seen here at the SBAC show at Farnborough in September 1964, was initially fitted with Continental piston engines for its first flight on January 17, 1963, but was re-engined four months later with Turbomeca Astazou turboprops and rebranded the Turbo Skyvan. Note the original blunt nose.

By the time of the 1968 SBAC show at Farnborough that September, problems with the Skyvan’s Astazou engines in “hot and high" conditions had led to the fitting of American Garrett AiResearch TP331 turboprops on production aircraft instead, these being Skyvan Series 3s. Seen here is Series 3 N4917 of Wien Consolidated Airlines, one of five Skyvans at the ’68 show.

Skyvan имел большие, широко расставленные кили, которые были особенно эффективны на малых скоростях полета, что было очень важно при выброске парашютистов и грузов, когда необходимо точно выдерживать курс.

The real "workhorse" of the SOAF is the Skyvan 3M seen in these photos operating under what are probably the most punishing conditions in the world. The Skyvan flight of the SOAF's Air Support Squadron is manned by seconded RAF personnel and (mostly British ex-service) mercenaries. Some 220 of the British serving with the Omani forces are seconded personnel, including 100 from the Special Air Services Regiment, and these have been told by the UK Ministry of Defence to avoid participating in operations likely to embarass HM government.

Данный Skyvan 3M стал последним серийным SC.7 и был поставлена 1986 году авиакрылу эмирата Шарджа, позже вошедшему в состав ВВС ОАЭ. Предприятие "Shorts" в Белфасте построило 153 самолета модернизированной второй и базовой третьей серий.

Для использования геофизической аппаратуры необходимы самолеты, отличающиеся большой грузоподъемностью. Идеальным вариантом являются двухмоторные машины, как изображенный здесь Skyvan, оснащенный системой Tempest, или же трехмоторные самолеты, такие как Trislander.

Skyvan были востребованы ВВС ряда стран мира, которым требовался неприхотливый и простой в обслуживании легкий транспортный самолет. В 1990-1991 годах самолеты Skyvan, имевшиеся в Гане, прошли ремонт и модернизацию, но в начале 2000-х годов их все же списали из-за отсутствия запчастей.

Invicta Aviation, which operates the only two Shorts Skyvans remaining on the UK register, 30-year old G-BEOL and G-PIGY, has recently upgraded the aircraft, fitting new five-bladed propellers to replace the old three-bladed ones, which reduces noise, as the tips are no longer supersonic. The aircraft are mostly leased out to parachute clubs and both are seen here on May 19, 2007 at Langar, Nottinghamshire, where they were temporarily based for the 'Langar Boogie 2007' skydiving event, although it was largely washed out by very poor weather.

Длина БПЛА составляет 3,9 м, размах крыла - 8,3 м, грузоподъемность - до 725 кг. Стоимость одного экземпляра не должна превышать 11000 USD. В ходе испытаний было проведено 12 сбросов. Все БПЛА достигли заданных точек посадки. При этом 7 аппаратов летели, дистанционно управляемые операторами, а 5 - совершенно автономно.
