Ultimately a stretch of the Merlin III was designed and sized to seat 22 passengers and called the SA226-TC Metro. Because FAA regulations limited an airliner to no more than 19 seats if no flight attendant was to be carried, the aircraft was optimized for that number of passengers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Prototype construction of the Metro began in 1968 and the first flight was on August 26, 1969. Swearingen Aircraft encountered financial difficulties at this stage, and late in 1971 Fairchild (which was marketing the Metro and building its wings and engine nacelles), bought 90% of Swearingen and the company was renamed Swearingen Aviation Corporation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It was at this point that the previously cash-strapped company was able to put the Metro into production.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In 1974, the original Metro models were replaced by the SA226-TC Metro II after about 20 Metros and about 30 Merlin IVAs had been built.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The SA227-AC Metro III followed, also initially certified in 1980 for up to 14,000\u00a0pounds (6,350\u00a0kg), this increasing to 14,500\u00a0pounds (6,577\u00a0kg) as engines and structures were upgraded. An option to go as high as 16,000\u00a0pounds (7,257\u00a0kg) was offered. Externally, improvements incorporated into the Metro III were a 10\u00a0ft (3.05\u00a0m) increase in wing span, four-bladed props, redesigned &#8220;quick-access&#8221; engine cowlings and numerous drag-reducing airframe modifications, including landing gear doors that closed after the gear was extended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Once again a corporate version was offered as the Merlin IVC (the model name was chosen to align with the contemporaneous short-fuselage Merlin IIIC). A version with strengthened floors and the high gross weight option was offered as a cargo aircraft known as the Expediter. Both the Expediter and the Merlin IVC were designated the SA227-AT. Finally, due to reliability problems with Garrett engines in the second half of the 1980s, the Metro IIIA was offered with two Pratt &#038; Whitney Canada PT6A-45R turboprops in place of the Garrett units; however none were actually delivered.[6] A special model was the SA227-BC Metro III built for Mexican airline AeroLitoral, which took delivery of 15 of the 18 of this model that were produced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Aircraft of similar role, configuration and era are: Beechcraft 1900, British Aerospace Jetstream, Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante.<\/p>\n<p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"
