The purpose of this paper is to explain how the following challenging targets have been achieved: large cabin volume with a cruise speed above 400 knots using only limited thrust; short field capability with simple high-lift devices; and versatility with a unique basic version. In each case a carefully balanced choice between several technical solutions was necessary in order to bring on the market a moderately priced aircraft.
