The de Havilland Canada DHC-5 Buffalo is a short takeoff and landing utility transport turboprop aircraft developed from the earlier piston-powered DHC-4 Caribou. The aircraft has extraordinary STOL performance and is able to take off in distances much shorter than even most light aircraft can manage.

Thanks to its high-lift wing and large, full-length flaps, even at its maximum takeoff weight of 17,000 kilograms the Buffalo requires only 370 metres of runway to take off and 300 metres to land.
