Proposed
- ATR 82 - During the mid-1980s, the company investigated a 78 seat derivative of the ATR 72. This would have been powered by two Allison AE2100 turboprops (turbofans were also studied for a time) and would have a cruising speed as high as 330kt. The ATR-82 project (as it was dubbed) was suspended when AI(R) was formed in early 1996.
- ATR stretch - In 2007, as a response to the Q400X proposal, ATR floated the idea of a 90-99 seater stretch. As of 2009, it was considered as part of the future -900 series ATR family.
- new 90-seat ATR - In 2011, a 90-seater proposal was planned to be brought to its shareholders for 2012. As of 2012, a new cleansheet design has been considered in the 90-seat segment, for a 2017 launch.

Famous quotes containing the word proposed:
“There never seems to be any difficulty in stretching the laws and the constitution to fit any kind of a political deal, but when it is proposed to make some concession to women they loom up like an unscalable wall.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“To coöperate in the highest as well as the lowest sense, means to get our living together. I heard it proposed lately that two young men should travel together over the world, the one without money, earning his means as he went, before the mast and behind the plow, the other carrying a bill of exchange in his pocket. It was easy to see that they could not long be companions or coöperate, since one would not operate at all. They would part at the first interesting crisis in their adventures.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
