The Desaer ATL-100 (ATL being Portuguese for "light transport aircraft") is a twin-turboprop, high-wing, utility aircraft under development by Desaer in Brazil and by CEiiA in Portugal.{{cite web | url=https://aviationweek.com/aerospace/manufacturing-supply-chain/aerospace-industry-growth-spurs-first-made-portugal-aircraft | title=Aerospace Industry Growth Spurs First Made-in-Portugal Aircraft | Aviation Week Network }}
Development
By 25 September 2020, a joint-venture between Brazilian Desaer and Portuguese engineering centre CEIIA was expected to create 1,200 jobs at a new integrated factory in Evora.
The ATL-100 should then be developed over three years.{{cite news |url= https://www.flightglobal.com/aerospace/light-twin-turboprop-atl-100-to-be-produced-at-portuguese-facility/140426.article |title= Light twin-turboprop ATL-100 to be produced at Portuguese facility |author= David Kaminski-Morrow |date= 1 October 2020 |work= FlightGlobal}}
Design
The ATL-100 is a non-pressurized, twin-turboprop, high-wing utility aircraft with a fixed tricycle landing gear and an aft cargo ramp.
With an MTOW up to {{cvt|19000|lb|t}}, it should be certified under the part 23 commuter category for 19 passengers or three LD3 containers. It could operate on unpaved and short runways, with little or no ground support; it targets robustness and easy maintenance, and low operations costs. Quick-change variants could be offered for air ambulance, emergency evacuation, paratrooper or troop transport; and for patrol, surveillance, intelligence, reconnaissance.

The ATL-100H is a variant of the original that adds two outboard magniX magni350 electric motors to the configuration. Their role is to provide additional thrust, primarily for take-off and climbing. Each 111.5-kg (246-lb) motor offers 350-kW/1,610 Nm (1,188 ft lb) of maximum continuous torque. The company claimed that it would reduce fuel consumption by 25-40% and reduce take-off noise levels.{{Cite web|last=Coxworth|first=Ben|date=2022-02-10|title=Desaer ATL-100H hybrid aircraft mixes electric motors with turboprops|url=https://newatlas.com/aircraft/desaer-atl-100h-hybrid-aircraft/|access-date=2022-02-11|website=New Atlas|language=en-US}}
