[edit] Need a gallery

Can someone make a photo gallery for all these photos? They're screwing up the section edit links something awful, and it looks kinda silly to have a giant column of photos running down the right side of the page.--chris.lawson 20:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Note that this problem was solved with the article splits. - BillCJ 19:23, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Company

In the article is not mentioned that ATR is an Italian French company, with the shares equally divided between Alenia and Aerospatiale (now EADS) --82.89.191.143 10:38, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

And this is relevant to the article about the aircraft ATR 42 exactly how? There is an article on ATR as a company already. 82.10.157.146 18:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Need Consistency in Engine Power Listings

The article isn't consistent. In the text (ATR 42-200/300) it states the engines have 2000 shp, whereas the box at the bottom of the article lists those engines at 1800 shp. In the text (ATR 42-320) it states the engines for that variant have 2100 shp, whereas the box lists the engines at 1900 shp. In the text (ATR 42-500) it states the PW127E engines are rated at 2400 horsepower, whereas the box lists the engines at 2160 shp. In addition, the General Characteristics section (just above the box) lists the engine output as 1790 KW, which converts to 2400 horsepower.

Somebody should make the effort to find the correct rated power for each of the three engine types used in these three models. As a starting point, the Aviation Week & Space Technology issue for 29 October, 2007, p. 64 lists the engine power (for the ATR 42-500) at 2160 shp, so that is probably correct. Where did the 2400 shp number come from? Any help would be appreciated. Raymondwinn 08:57, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
