The Saab 2000 is a turboprop airplane that packs in a lot of speed. Designs for the plane began as early as 1988 when the company thought the market was demanding a high speed turboprop plane. One of the main goals during its design was that it be able to offer comparable speeds to the jets that were popular in modern airlines.

The planes’ first flight occurred on March, 26 1992. Compared to other turboprop planes the Saab 2000 features a long body. The Turboprop design of the plane helps to maximize its fuel efficiency. The Saab 2000 can carry up to 58 passengers and is capable of reaching a speed of 665 kilometers per hour.

The plane uses Rolls-Royce Turboprop engines to drive its slow turning six bladed propellers. The initial major customer for the plane was Crossair a regional airline in Europe.

The airline eventually bought 34 of the planes and were still using the model as of 2005. The plane has also been used by the Pakistan Air Force as an early warning and control system. Currently there are over two dozen of the planes still in use.
