Hi Hesham Maybe of interest. Although the Metro 25 was never built as such, Swearingen did fly a modified Metro III with some of the Metro 25 features. The aircraft retained the external dimensions, but the cabin was modified to allow up to 25 passengers, at the expense of the bagage space. Therefore a large belly pannier was added. Externally the Metro 25 could also be identified by the 11 windows on each side (9 and 10 in the Metro III). Also the l/h rear cargo door was deleted and a r/h rear passenger door added. In the design stage the Metro 25 was referred to as the Metro 23(EF) model. Engines were two 1,100hpTPE331-12UA-701G and first flight was 25 September 1989 (October 1989?). I should have a photo of the demonstrator, but cannot locate it right now. Will keep searching. [/size]
