About the BAe Jetstream 41

Type certificated 1993 Source: FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet

Overview

The BAe Jetstream 41 (Model 4101) is British Aerospace’s 30-seat regional airliner, a fuselage stretch of the Jetstream 31/32 with the wing relocated below the cabin floor and re-engined with 1,650-shp Garrett TPE331-14 turboprops driving five-blade propellers. The lower wing eliminates the mid-cabin spar carry-through that runs through the smaller Jetstreams, giving a clear aisle and a flat cabin floor. Certificated to FAR/JAR Part 25 transport standards in 1993 and built at Prestwick through 1997, roughly 100 airframes were delivered before regional jets took the routes and BAE exited civil airframe production.

For a buyer, the J41 is an airline aircraft: two-crew cockpit, cabin attendant, commuter-category maintenance, and direct operating costs near $1,700 per hour. It sits at the small end of the regional airliner class – bigger and faster than a 19-seat commuter like the Beechcraft 1900D, smaller than a Dornier 328 – and the shrinking operator fleet raises real parts-sustainment questions. Few are in private hands, and the economics only close in scheduled or charter revenue service.

Key Features for GA Buyers

  • Flat-floor cabin: the relocated low wing removes the spar carry-through that crosses the cabin floor in the Jetstream 31 and 32, giving an unobstructed aisle.
  • 30-seat Part 25 transport: a true regional airliner with transport-category systems, pressurisation, and an EFIS flight deck – more capability than a commuter-category twin.
  • Stretched airframe, more power: the fuselage plugs push capacity well past the 19-seat Jetstream family, and the 1,650-shp TPE331-14s (up from 1,020 shp on the Super 31) give the climb and cruise of a true airliner.
  • Cruise and range: 295 KTAS cruise and 774 nm of IFR range – enough for typical regional sectors without a fuel stop.

Trade-offs

  • Airliner economics: $1,705/hr direct operating cost (138 gph fuel + airframe maintenance + TPE331 overhaul reserve), two-crew operation, and commuter-category inspection cycles put the J41 well above a cabin-class turboprop twin.
  • Shrinking support base: BAE left civil airframe manufacturing and the active fleet has contracted, so parts availability and type-rated maintenance organisations thin each year.
  • Not an owner-flier: the 30-seat cabin, two-crew requirement, and revenue-oriented economics only make sense in scheduled or charter use; this is not a personal or corporate aircraft.
