More about the Astra SP

Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) introduced the midsized transcontinental Astra in 1985 as a successor to the Westwind. This model featured several improvements, most notably its increased cruising speeds due to a redesigned moderately swept low wing airfoil design. In 1990, IAI introduced the next model in the Astra line, the Astra SP. Due to a redesigned aerodynamic wing and new airframe design, the Astra SP featured performance improvements such as increased range and increased take off performance. Amenities designed into the Astra SP include a forward galley and an aft full width lavatory.
