The best airplanes to fly on (in my opinion) In this post I wanted to share my six favorite types of commercial aircraft. I also prefer the A350 to the 787 because the plane is simply more capable in terms of payload and range. What are your airplane preferences? while other times we just like the way a plane looks or sounds.

When considering the purchase of a short-haul light turboprop aircraft, several important factors include performance, payload capabilities, and passenger capacities. None, however, could be more important than range, as the ability to fly further in a lighter, more affordable, and easy-to-fly airplane cannot be understated.
