The Dash 7 Series was intended to redress the ensuing imbalance between the two competing manufacturers. GE commenced production of the Dash 7 Series in 1976.

The four-engined DHC-7, popularly known as the Dash 7, was designed as a STOL 50-seat regional airliner capable of operating from strips as short as 915 metres (3,000 ft) in length. It was meant to serve small city airports, where noise abatement requirements were particularly strict, and featured four slow-turning propellers to cut noise.
