This aircraft is really cool and I know that Bombardier takes this differential aircraft as one of the best for short, medium hauls. It's the biggest passenger turboprop and competes with many small to medium sized aircraft's. I always see the Q400 with Horizon Air and they are very quiet and environmentally friendly. I love them and the way they are designed. The average cost is between 12- 27 million dollars. There are Four variants with different specifications the -100 series being the oldest with an entry service in 1984 and a cost of 12.5 million. Then there is the -200,-300, and the biggest, -400 also known as the Q400. All of them are different in terms of dimensions but unique.
