Basler Turbo Conversions was founded in 1990 solely focused on converting existing C-47 airframes into the BT-67.[1] Basler custom configures each new build to the client's specifications. Industries served include cargo, military, cloudseeding, scientific research, and various other applications.[2][3] The conversion includes fitting the airframe with new Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67Rturboprop engines,[4] lengthening the fuselage, strengthening the airframe, upgrading the avionics, and making modifications to the wing leading edges and wingtips.
Due to the higher fuel consumption of the turbine engines of the BT-67, compared to the original piston designs fitted to the standard DC-3, range on the standard fuel tank, with 45 minute reserve, is reduced from Шаблон:Convert. Basler provides a long-range fuel tank which increases the aircraft range to Шаблон:Convert.[2]
