Really? I though it's very strong acceleration on the runway when props are ajusted for takeoff and engines are allready spinning at takeoff power. Unlike turbofans that are adjusted during takeoff for more thust turboprop starts with engines at takeoff power output and the result is significant kick when takeoff roll begins.
Thank you Sky. I am a fan. It seems that the Ilyushin design managers could not make up their mind on the product design. We know that ILYUSHIN knows how to to design are aircraft . For example IL 62 , unsurpassed in its own class, even some 60 years ago. Plus the name ILYUSHIN is such a nice sounding name, at least to me.

The IL-114 bears a superficial external resemblance to the HS748. Horizon (or Cascade) Airlines in the Pacific NW used to operate these aircraft in the 1980s.
As an westerner, i see the Il-114 as a pretty "boring", common aircraft, unlike the disruptive, innovative, sometimes strange soviet airlines concept. And all this "boringness", this "commoness", seems to be the savior of the airline, that makes it a rather modern and common airplane with relatively little changes on project.
