Hi,
I was looking yesterday at a beautiful airplane, the Piaggio 180 Avanti. What a beautiful machine. I was so impressed by its lines that i checked its performance on the piaggioamerica.com website. 390 kts and FL410. That's really impressive !!
Anybody around who had the opportunity to fly it ? Does it really do what i read ?
I had not a chance to see the inside, but by the size of the fuselage it looks like a stand-up cabin ?
Last question : I noticed that the props weren't deiced since they are in pusher configuration and are deiced by the exhaust air of the PT6s, does that damage or give some kind of vibration to the plane ? Is it loud inside ?
Any information is welcome.
Are there any in captivity in the southeast or even flying Part 135 ?
Thanks.
Fly safe
