The BAe 146-200 is a 1980s British-designed, short-haul regional airliner featuring a stretched fuselage, four Honeywell ALF 502R-5 turbofan engines, and excellent STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) performance. It typically seats up to 100 passengers, has a ~1,570 nautical mile (2,900 km) range, and is known as the "Whisperjet" for its quiet operation, making it ideal for city-center airports
