Desaer ATL-100

The Desaer ATL-100 (ATL being Portuguese for "light transport aircraft") is a twin-turboprop, high-wing, utility aircraft under development by Desaer in Brazil and by CEiiA in Portugal.

Development
By 25 September 2020, a joint-venture between Brazilian Desaer and Portuguese engineering centre CEIIA was expected to create 1,200 jobs at a new integrated factory in Evora. The ATL-100 should then be developed over three years.

Design
The ATL-100 is a non-pressurized, twin-turboprop, high-wing utility aircraft with a fixed tricycle landing gear and an aft cargo ramp. With an MTOW up to 19000 lb, it should be certified under the part 23 commuter category for 19 passengers or three LD3 containers. It could operate on unpaved and short runways, with little or no ground support; it targets robustness and easy maintenance, and low operations costs. Quick-change variants could be offered for air ambulance, emergency evacuation, paratrooper or troop transport; and for patrol, surveillance, intelligence, reconnaissance.

ATL-100H
The ATL-100H is a variant of the original that adds two outboard magniX magni350 electric motors to the configuration. Their role is to provide additional thrust, primarily for take-off and climbing. Each 111.5-kg (246-lb) motor offers 350-kW/1,610 Nm (1,188 ft lb) of maximum continuous torque. The company claimed that it would reduce fuel consumption by 25-40% and reduce take-off noise levels.
