Description
This meticulously crafted 1:500 scale die-cast model represents an AirTran Airways Boeing 717-200 in exceptional detail. Manufactured by Herpa, a renowned German producer of miniature aircraft models, this collector's piece features the airline's distinctive livery with its signature teal and cream color scheme. The model showcases accurate markings, including the AirTran logo on the tail and fuselage, precise window detailing, and authentic landing gear configuration. This is a true-to-scale replica that captures the essence of AirTran's fleet during its operational years.
The Boeing 717-200 was a twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliner designed for short to medium-haul routes. With a wingspan of 28.47m, length of 37.80m, and height of 8.86m, this aircraft was perfectly suited for AirTran Airways' domestic operations. The 717 featured rear-mounted engines and could typically seat between 106-117 passengers. AirTran Airways operated the largest fleet of Boeing 717s in the world before merging with Southwest Airlines in 2014, making this model a significant piece of aviation history.
