The ATR 52 was a project to develop a military transport aircraft and a 50-seat airliner to add to ATR's product range.[1][2] The manufacturer pursued the project throughout the 1990s, but was never able to attract sufficient interest from customers to make the project viable. Over the course of the decade, the design shifted from being a stretched ATR 42[1][2][3] to a shortened ATR 72.[4]
