The installation of a turboprop engine in
the Beaver resulted in a significant improvement in performance and
payload capability. The Ontario Department of Natural Resources operates
a fleet of Turbo Beaver 111’s. Most of the Turbo Beavers which were
converted are still flying, mainly in North America. The example
illustrated below retains the original Beaver tail assembly.
