Amongst the many projects to re-engine the DC-3, the Tamco (standing for Turbo-Airliner Manufacturing Co.) Turbo-Commuter was one of the more complex. As well as the RR Dart turboprops, the Turbo-Commuter was to feature a pressurized fuselage as well as the adoption of a tricycle undercarriage. To facilitate the undercarriage layout change, it was planned to fit the main units between the centre and rear wing spars, retracting into fully covered nacelles, similar to the Super DC-3s. Attached is a profile taken from the July 24 1976 issue of Flight international.
