ATR 42 development and planned variants

[Stargazer]

I haven't been able to find a topic for the planned versions of the Avions de Transport Régional ATR 42, so here goes. To the moderators: in case this doubles something that's already present elsewhere, please feel free to merge it!

This image from a 1984 issue of TsAGI's Tekhnichevskaya Informatsiya shows four variants:

• ATR 42 (basic version)
• ATR 42 QC (quick change version, with enlarged rear passenger/cargo door)
• ATR 42 F (freighter version, with enlarged rear cargo door)
• ATR 42 C (pure cargo version, note the redesigned tail for rear ramp loading)

I once read about a planned ATR with turbojet power, but haven't ever found any renderings or specs.
