Piaggio Avanti
Piaggio Avanti
Piaggio most definitely set out with a blank piece of paper when the Piaggio Avanti was conceived. One of the most striking designs to hit the private aircraft market for many years, the Piaggio Avanti has one of the best cabins in itsclass, has excellent performance, superb avionics fit and can operate at a fraction of the cost of a comparable private jet.
The Avanti can seat up to nine passengers in a pressurised cabin environment. Two Pratt and Whitney PT-6 turbo props appear in “pusher” configuration on the latest Avanti II variant of the aircraft allowing 40% higher fuel efficiency than its light jet counterparts. This aircraft needs just 870m of runway to operate at maximum take off weight.
The P180 Avanti has a useful load of 1,860kgs with maximum speed of 398 knots. Cruise is quoted at 395 knots. This without doubt puts the Avanti streets ahead of its competitors on speed. Range with IFR reserves is 1,500 nautical miles and this aircraft will climb at 3,000 feet a minute all the way to FL410. The first Avanti flew in 1986 and since this time over 300 aircraft have been delivered worldwide.
Acquisition cost of the Piaggio Avanti II stands at $7m for a new aircraft. Used Avanti aircraft are available from $1.5m.
This aircraft exhibits an excellent combination of cabin comfort, performance and cost of operation.
