The First Turboprop Airliner and Giant Windows

From a technological and historical standpoint, this aircraft holds one absolutely crucial first. It was the very first turboprop airliner in the world to enter regular passenger service. Its quartet of reliable Rolls-Royce Dart engines brought passengers previously unseen luxury in the form of a quiet and nearly vibration-free flight, which was a huge leap compared to the noisy piston engines of the time. Another massive innovation that passengers immediately fell in love with was the unusually large oval windows, which provided a fantastic view of the passing landscape.
