48 hours - the most isolated camp on earth

The twin otter or DeHavilland Canada DHC-6 (affectionately known as the twotter or the dash 6) is a jet aircraft. The engines are turbo props. They use a jet engine to turn the props. So whilst it is powered by propeller, it has a huge amount of power. When you say "propeller aircraft" people have an image of an underpowered little toy. That couldn't be further from the truth. The Twotter is an incredibly capable aircraft. It has between 1100 and 1500 horsepower depending on the variant. It will happily fly in a single engine.
