The L 410 is powered by two Walter M601-E/F reverse-flow turboprop engines.
The two-shaft engine is equipped with a water injection system for superior hot
and high performance. The low fuel consumption and low-cost maintenance
engine makes the aircraft extremely cost effective.
It is fitted with two five-bladed AVIA V510 propellers, designed to withstand rough
conditions on unpaved airstrips. Each propeller is equipped with a system of
automatic, manual and emergency feathering. A power control lever is provided to
operate in reverse-thrust setting.
L 410 / L 420 landing gear
The aircraft features a tricycle type landing gear with low
pressure tyres. It allows the L 410 / L 420 to operate
from both paved and unpaved airstrips in remote and
undeveloped areas. The front and main landing gear is
equipped with two-chamber shock absorbers. Its main
wheels have disc brakes equipped with an ABS antiskid
system. The short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability
allows the aircraft to takeoff from short runways.
