[ORNL - yaxingwei]

Hi,

The ORNL DAAC needs a new GCMD platform vocabulary entry, here are the details:

Short Name: Twin Otter
Long Name: Twin Otter
Hierarchical Path: Platforms > Air-based Platforms > Propeller > Twin Otter

Description: The Twin Otter is a twin-engine turboprop research aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada. Several organizations, including NASA, NOAA, and the Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely Piloted Aircraft Studies (CIRPAS), have owned and operated the Twin Otter to support a wide range of ecosystem, atmospheric, and oceanographic research. The Twin Otter is known for its short takeoff and landing capabilities, versatile payload capacity, and low-speed and low-altitude airborne missions.
