The Piaggio P180 Avanti
Designed for Flight Simulator 2004 in precise detail. The Avanti represents a level of luxury and efficiency that many business jet owners envy. Cruising atjet speeds of 400 knots, this twin turboprop airplane travels faster than even some jets. Certified to fly at an altitude of 41,000 feet, the P180 Avanti soars as high as commercial aircraft, undeterred by inclement weather.
The Avanti is produced by Piaggio Aero. It's pressurized cabin seats up to nine passengers in luxury. It combines the performance of a jet and the efficiency of a turbo prop with unmatched luxury and flair. Piaggio Aero intended the Avanti to be a turboprop that played in the same niche as light jets but with better economy and a larger cabin. With much of its construction
is comprised of composite material, the unique shape was created to achieve a number of very challenging requirements.
The Avanti's engines are located mid-fuselage, giving the aircraft a high aspect ratio wing, Since the wings and engines are located behind the cabin passengers are assured of a smooth and quiet ride. The arrangement of the wing surfaces allows all three to provide lift, as opposed to a conventional configuration. The fuselage itself contributes up to 20% of the aircraft's total lift. The sleek design and configuration of the wing surface and engines of the Avanti ensures comfortable flying.
