and much lighter,was designed to carry 16-passenger/troops

500 turboprops engines.
1400 Commuterline :19-passenger STOL transport, powered by two 715
hp Garrett TPE331-5 turboprops,developed from Scout-STOL

Hi,


and here is a Model for ST-1700.

Just to add to the overall story......
The Skytrader Scout was a light transport aircraft ordered by the Department of Defence as UV-23A for sales to foreign military powers. Other sources have suggested that it was to be used by the US Army for intelligence gathering and reconnaissance.
The Scout was a development of the Skytrader 800 which had first flown on 21 April 1975. It was not proceeded with.

Thank you my dear Jos for your explanation.
