ATR 72-500

The ATR 72-500 provides passengers with an on-board comfort and services comparable to the jetliner

High cruise ceiling of about 7,000 m (21,000 ft) with inherent stability
Large overhead bins including a handrail to facilitate passengers and crew movement along the cabin
Optimized view (more windows than rows of seats)
Individual reading lights and cabin attendant call system
A quiet, comfortable and spacious cabin with a new design
In-flight Entertainment System

A range of improvements in the field of noise and vibration reduction has been implemented in the ATR 72-500, namely:

Attachment of the panels and overhead bins to the structure by specially designed dampers, avoiding vibration transmission from the structure to the interior furnishings
Cabin partitions treated to reduce reverberation phenomena in the forward and rear cabin area
New insulation blankets with an optimized thickness and made of waterproof material
Stiffening of frames located in the propeller area
Installation of Dynamic Vibration Absorbers on the upper side of the frames and on the floor beams, greatly reducing vibrations generated by the propeller blades
Skin damping treatment through viscomaterial strips on the panels, reducing noise propagation by the skin

The standard cabin layout is 68 seats at 31-inch pitch.

The new 568F six-blade Hamilton Standard propeller is specially optimized for low cabin noise in climb and cruise and low vibration. It features:

New Propeller Electronic Control
New Propeller Valve Module, ensuring very accurate propeller speed and phase control
Optimum synchrophasing between the two propellers, resulting in optimum comfort even in turbulence.
