The AERO HISTORY podcast, a captivating journey through the annals of aviation history, invites its audience to engage in the conversation. Whether you have a burning question or a topic idea that piques your curiosity, the podcast welcomes your input at podcast@our website.

One such topic that has recently been explored in-depth is the Vickers Viscount, a groundbreaking aircraft that made history as the first commercial turboprop aircraft in the world. This British-built airliner, produced in Brooklands, London, was the most produced passenger aircraft in the country up until today, with an impressive 445 units produced.

The Vickers Viscount's success can be largely attributed to the reliable and economical Rolls-Royce "Dart" propellant turbines. These innovative engines played a significant role in the sales success of the Vickers Viscount, as well as the Dutch regional aircraft Fokker F27 "Friendship".

This iconic aircraft is not only a subject of interest on the AERO HISTORY podcast but also the focus of a special episode. The podcast delves into the Vickers Viscount's development, its groundbreaking propeller-turbine drive (PTL), and its impact on the aviation industry.
