Short-haul aircraft

As Kurzstreckenflugzeug one nowadays airliner referred to the km for routes non-stop until about 2000 is to use the most economical. The distinction between modern short-haul aircraft and medium- haul aircraft is fluid due to the many different variants in terms of size, range, drive type or number of passengers of a type. In addition, the loading plays an important role. Types like Bombardier's CRJ family , Embraer's E-Jets and Suchois Superjet can also be used as medium-haul aircraft.

Short-haul aircraft are often turboprop aircraft , have short start capability (STOL) in order to be able to operate from short runways and offer only limited entertainment options on board. If they are intended for fewer than 20 passengers and 8,618 kg maximum take-off weight ( MTOW ), they are also referred to as feeder aircraft or commuter aircraft . Some manufacturers also offer more robust, short-haul versions that are specifically designed to withstand the extra stress of more frequent take-off and landing cycles.

And jet engines or jet turbines, English Jet engine ) are gas turbines, which are used primarily as engines and work on the principle of recoil drive. Jet engines suck in the ambient air and expel the combustion products and, in some cases, air as a propulsion jet, with the recoil generating a thrust. Because, in contrast to rocket engines, the oxygen required for combustion is taken from the sucked in air, they are also referred to as air-breathing engines.
