What engines does the Q400 use?
The Q400 series is powered by P&WC’s PW150A engine, rated at 5,071shp (see table, page 7). The three main Dash 8 variants have the same fuel capacity of 835 US Gallons (USG), while the larger Q400 has a capacity of 1,724USG. The maximum range varies from 760nm on the Dash 8- 100 to 1,340nm on the Q400. Engines**: Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150A turboprop engines, each producing around 5,071 shaft horsepower. Advanced Avionics**: The Q400 features advanced avionics systems, including a digital flight deck and autopilot capabilities, enhancing safety and efficiency.The Bombardier Q400 Engine allows the Q400 to achieve jet-like speed (415 miles per hour), with the turboprop efficiency provided by the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150A engine. The PW150A engine provides Bombardier Q400 operators with great fuel savings when compared to a regional jet, usually around 40% savings.The Bombardier Q400 is a turboprop aircraft from the de Havilland Canada Dash 8 family. Our Bombardier Q400 is a dual turboprop aeroplane with particularly low CO₂ footprint.

The Bombardier Q400, also known as the Dash, is a Canadian-made turboprop aircraft. The first aircraft of this type landed in Warsaw in 2012, and 3 years later, after the liquidation of Eurolot, the planes joined LOT’s fleet. Bombardiers flew both domestic and short-haul routes around Europe.The Bombardier Q400 is a turboprop aircraft from the de Havilland Canada Dash 8 family.
