84-494: The basic model, Short marketed a number of 360 developments. First was the 360 Advanced , in late 1985, with 1,424 shp (1,062 kW) PT6A-65-AR engines. That was followed by the 360/300 , in March 1987, with six-blade propellers, more powerful PT6A-67R engines, and aerodynamic improvements, giving a higher cruise speed and improved "hot and high" performance. The 360/300 was also built in 360/300F freighter configuration. Production of

The 360's power is supplied by two Pratt & Whitney PT6A-65Rs. Building on the strengths and reputation of its 330 antecedent, the 360s found a niche in regional airline use worldwide, being able to operate comfortably from 4,500 ft (1,400 m) runways – opening up hundreds of airfields that would otherwise be inaccessible to airliners.
