The Piaggio P180 Avanti II twin-engine turboprop business aircraft is the successor to the P180 Avanti, of which more than 100 have been produced since its entry into service in 1990. P180 Avanti II was displayed at the 2010 AirVenture held between 26 July 2010 and 29 August 2010.
Intro/Aircraft Walk Around -00:00-02:41
Preflight/Startup -02:41-4:27
Taxi -Take off -04:28-07:20
Inflight Cross X-07:21 -10:36
Landing -10:37-16:05
The P180 AvantiI has a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.7. The aircraft is certified for single-pilot operation and seats up to nine passengers. Avanti II introduces enhanced avionics, higher performance in terms of speed and payload and a higher level of cabin comfort. The operational ceiling of the Avanti is 41,000ft allowing the aircraft to fly above weather systems.
The aircraft are constructed at Piaggio Aero’s manufacturing facilities in Genoa, Italy. Piaggio America, Inc. based in West Palm Beach, Florida, completes, delivers and supports the Avanti aircraft in North America.
Flying a Piaggio P180 Avanti to 35000ft. A Pilot Perspective the most beautiful turbo prop ever built. Quite possibly the smoothest flying aircraft ive been in.
Avanti EVO blends the very best of Italian style, peerless craftsmanship, and intelligent thinking to create an aircraft that stands alone for its values. With greater range, faster climb, reduced fuel costs, a lower noise footprint, added safety systems, and a more luxurious cabin, Avanti EVO is yet another step forward. Its speed exceeds 400 KTAS, faster than many jets and at a fraction of the direct running costs. Add to that a significantly improved service and support network, an innovative new maintenance program that can keep costs under control better than ever, and Avanti EVO stands alone for intelligence and elegance.

I did aerospace engineering but crash landed in industrial control systems and automation. This plane is one of those fascinating design exercises where they looked for improvement and not only got it but didn't create a pile of problems. Way too often we see people across all the engineering fields trying to come up with solutions to problems that don't really exist. This was one of those concepts that did look at a problem which is one of the fundamental aspects of the standard 2 surface plane which is that the control surface (the elevator) is ostensibly always fighting the twisting effect of the main surface (the wing). Not only does that canard balance out those forces making all 3 surfaces more efficient but the fuselage also provides lift. Not a huge amount but its more efficient. Overall its a great piece of engineering for any engineer to look at as a case study in solving a problem with out creating other problems. Thanks for the post.

@@Naija4K Dude YOU ARE NOT comparing similar aircraft. You're comparing a turboprop to a jet. The Piaggio has a range of 2800km, which for EUROPE is plenty and for most for America plenty. Comparing 4 other twin turboprops The Embraer EMB 121 Xingu - 1230km The Cessna 425 Corsair/Conquest I - 3048km The Piper PA-31T Cheyenne - 2739km Comparing 2 similar single turboprops The Piper PA-46 Meridian (M600) - 2668km The Pilatus PC-12 - 3417km

My father used to work for Piaggio, and he personally was the supervisor of building this aircraft when it was sold abroad to other countries. He was also friends with the designer of the aircraft. It was just a marvel to see it in person when he used to invite me at the hangar as a kid to watch it being built. Definitely the most beautiful turboprop airplane to have ever been built.

You'll never forget the sound of a P180 once you hear it. Air deflected by the main wings is half lower pressure and half higher pressure, and this immediately runs through the multi-bladed propellers causing a very unique buzzing or sawing sound.

The Piaggio P180 is absolutely gorgeous. As a pilot, it would be a dream come true if I got a chance to fly it. However, as someone who worked as a ramp agent at an FBO, this plane can go to hell. I have never been more terrified for my life than when I had to disconnect a GPU from one of these after they started their engines. (The external power receptacle is positioned so you have to get VERY close to a spinning propeller to disconnect the GPU).

I could (and did) stand at an airport for hours watching as these amazingly beautiful planes take off and land. I even got to get up close to one in a hanger. The only turboprop I ever got to fly was an MU -2 a long time ago. Love that plane also, but you need special training to fly it which I think now is required.

I’ve heard if you can master a MU2 you can fly just about anything.

It's a lovely aircraft in style and has the 80's new design ideas but the problem with pusher configurations like this is simple to explain. Propellers really need to be in clean air without engine exhaust and rocks kicked up from wheels from the wheels on takeoff. The amount of extra servicing to pusher style propellers is extraordinary. I've seen what damage is done to pusher style props and it's nasty. No wonder other aircraft manufacturers dumped this style of design.

The MiG-29 has some steel plate assembly on the nosewheel to prevent that when operating from less prepared runways...so it is a question of design/engineering to put that extra stuff there...

@@SirDrifto Runway debris can do major damage to aluminium & composite blades. In simple terms it severely shortens the life of the blades. There's defines limits to what repairs can be carried out in relation to stone and rock damage. And if one blade is damaged out of service it's often difficult to find a suitable blade thats going to be the correct weight to work with the other blades. Sadly many people take props for granted. They are too often neglected and overlooked. But when they go wrong it often happens without warning. That's when the real panic sets in.

The only real servicing for the props is occasionally cleaning exhaust soot off of the blades. They sit relatively high off the ground so there really isn't much problem with debris.

It may look great but from an owners perspective, you can't get parts for it, the support from Piaggio was mediocre at best and the savings evaporate when you end up having to charter another aircraft because yours is stuck AOG on some remote airport. We traded ours in for a CJ and its a thousand times better...

This is honestly pretty damn good. Not quite as quick as a low end jet such as the CJ1 but it's a turbo prop! TAS of 325 kts as per your video is pretty good for a prop! Especially at FL350 but with a better fuel economy per pax!

The P180 certainly looks like a nice machine. I would still prefer the C441 you walked past in the hanger. Nothing like two TPE-331’s and the Conquest handling to put a smile on your dial!

I Remember When lyrics Sigler finish developing this plane and actually had an issue with ground tests and had to forestall the first flight. And the flight went off on the next day. The contract required the flight to occur by the end of the year so the post office was nice enough to send the confirmation letter on the 32nd of December. Fantastic aircraft, and actually gets really phenomenal fuel mileage for a turboprop of any kind much less a twin-engine.
