Uncover the Design Secrets of the Piaggio P180 Avanti! 

As a technician in the aerospace industry for over thirty years I found his aircraft just beautiful.

I've flown this aircraft, and agree, that it was the quietest, abd fastest turboprop I have ever flown in, and the cabin space, the largest, in it's class A pleasure to fly !!

I was lucky to see one of these up close and got to chat with the pilots. Really cool design. Apparently one of the advantages the engine/prop placement is that since you're down by the skinny end of the fuselage, you can place the engines closer to the centerline, reducing asymmetric thrust in an engine-out situation.

We get regular visits from one of these at Blackbushe (I think it's based at Gloucestershire Airport; I remember seeing it parked there while I was taxiing). I can always tell when it goes over my house on final: not only is the sound very distinctive - it's also incredibly loud!

And when it fly's overhead I do not even have to look up to know that very distinct sound of the Piaggio Avanti.

It would be good if there were more aircraft in this configuration. The Beechcraft Starship has already proven the physical advantages of this configuration. Less drag, thus better efficiency and better stall performance. Last but not least, this beautiful design. Thank you very much, I am looking forward to the next videos.

Wow , what a unique aircraft! The front reminds me of a hammerhead shark . They all were awesome and the sceneries were beautiful! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Jan Roskam managed the low speed and transonic speed wind tunnel programs for the SIAI Marchetti S-211 and Piaggio 180-Avanti. He passed away recently. A remarkable Aeronautical Engineer and professor. Author of excellent books on flight dynamics and aircraft design.

The beautiful stip and forest scenario of your shots, really remarks the short operating distances possible with this aircraft

What an epic video mate! Love this plane! Liked!

I really enjoyed this informative video, really nicely put together shots and info. The P180 really is a unique aircraft and one I must spot some day! Nice work Matt.

Beautiful Aircraft !!! Forward Italia 🇮🇹 🇮🇹

beautiful aircraft with perfect aerodynamics !

Nice to have the good commentary over these videos, I learned a lot from it... Great video once again Matt! I just love this plane!

I luckily heard and then saw one of these fly over my house in Victoria Australia and i was amazed by the design of it. Haven't forgotten it ever since

Great footage as always Matt! Also I enjoy this kind of informational video from time to time, good idea.

Another smashing video, Matt! Great work, and great production value!

디자인의 진화로 연료를 절약하는 기술 친환경 기술입니다

This beautiful aircraft reminds me a high-tech submarine 🙂 I like that cover voice !

I used to occasionally fly a Piaggio P166 from Bairnsdale Victoria Australia. They were a regional airline favorite and The Department of Civil Aviation had a couple, one of which was the one I flew. The P180 Avanti drew much inspiration for it, including the reverse 'pusher' engines and wheel configuration.

Excellent video and great information about the P180 Avanti!

Very nice video, Matt! I really enjoyed the clear and informative voice over. The P180 is indeed a very unique aircraft, I’ve seen it a few times here in Kamloops. Thanks for the video. - Lucas

This is the sweetest looking aircraft ever!

That's a very unique plane! A great video explaining the aircraft 👍

Wow! Fantastic video, very unique design! Well done!! 👍👍

Very Iconic aircraft. There is one based at an airport near me. It has a distinctive sound, so you know what it is before you ever see it on close final. Kind of like a P51 - also identifiable just by hearing it. Always fascinated with the design and the pusher engines/props.

Invest always admired this beautiful plane and appreciate your great video.

That aircraft has such a distinctive sound!!

Es un diseño magnífico!. A pesar de tener muchos años!. Excelentes imágenes!. FELICITACIONES MATTHIAS!.👏👏👏👏👏👍

Awesome plane and video! Excellent job!

I love this design!

Such a unique airplane! Thanks for sharing and I hope you and your family are doing well.

It's such a beauty!

Awesome video! I love the Piaggio!

It's a beautiful plane, I don't know anything else like it.

Both fuselage and engine is different! Beautiful video ❤

what a beautifull aircraft. Looks like a spaceship ❤ By the way : Piaggio is spoken like piatshow in italian language.

Very nice infomercial. The engineering of this acft is superb & I love the sound of those engines! One of my most favorite aircraft. I wish they would make a larger version as a regional aircraft, just love the design and aerodynamics, truly an aeronautical marvel! An absolute pleasure to fly, a sports car for the air.

Ferrari of the sky!!! Thank you for great video!

What a stunning looking plane

Thank you very much !!! I love that plane... there's so much intelligence in it 🤓🤓🤓

Out of all the turboprop planes I seen this is the one I really is attracted to and I like more I love the range in the speed into comfort but morally is the speed in the range of it I personally like me with imagination got plenty of modification ideas for that plane I think you can increase the fuel range a little bit longer and you can modify the engines more faster is possible

Spectacular view 😊

One flies over my house in Topsfield, MA heading to Beverly, MA air port several times a year. The sound is easily recognizable.

Sehr schoener Beitrag Matt. Vielen Dank. :) Schoene Grueße aus Bratislava.

Great video! Thanks for the information ✈️ ✨

Nice content 👍👍 I had to subscribe 😍

Been 15 years since ive been in the hangar but there was one at shreveport regional ive seen it in the air too more than once. Its quiet sleek reminds me of a burt rutan

Very nice video !!!! LIKE.

Fantastic 😍

Absolutely beautiful. 💪🇮🇹👍

Wonderful video!! 👍👍

Pretty cool plane that's a good idea always trying new 🆒👍🇨🇦

Lovely catch mate. Great job! ☺👍

Another great informative video. This aircraft is also coming to Flight Simulator! This new video format keeps the channel vibrant and gives you an alternative break from the usual plane spotting. I also recently introduced a new type of video to my channel to give it a little extra spark! Cheers and blue skies Matt!

Great footage.Nice plane,and unusual too❤👍!

incredible aircraft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

É uma máquina inovadora e fantástica.

Another point worth noting is that the MTOW is under 12,500 lbs, strictly speaking, you don't need a type rating. There is no prop de-ice, the props sit in the jet exhaust and are constantly de-iced by the engines. Lovely aircraft!

So cool video!

Perfect capture my friend😀 very nice video😀 Greetings from Japan

Amazing video as always Matt 👍 👌

Excellent stuff bro

Hermoso, productivo.

Awesome plane ..

enjoyed it

Great video!

Good catch 👏 👌 👍

I love this plane.

It's a remarkable looking aircraft.

Beautiful

Thank you for the look at this unique aircraft. Why aren’t there more of them?

Nice video and very interesting aircraft. Pictures of the cockpit and cabin would have been nice.

Very cool

Cool design

Belíssimo!!!

Briliant plane more like a sports car. Love it would love to have a flight in it.

It is different and cool looking at the same time.

Wow very neat looking design. I wonder what the inside looks like? Maybe one seat per window? Thanks for sharing

Loved it. I want one. Steven Blue

I guess that the sound is even more distinctive than other jets because of the harmonics caused by having two PC-6 turbines so close together. From what I understand, the fuselage shape actually generates lift and with a range of 1700 nautical miles, it can probably make a transatlantic flight with just one stop so long as you fuel from Gander, which most small jets cannot do and only the larger much more expensive executive jets can do non-stop.

My son says thank you for the information you gave about this Italian aircraft he likes its design thinks it's very unique.

It's very nice aircraft P180

Very nice

Italian engineering and design. Great.

Nice

We have two in Green Bay. Real beauties.

Really nice catch Matt!!

What a beaut.

É muito lindo.🇧🇷

Beautiful piece of an aircraft engineering plus artistic design … I just can’t resist looking at this marvel like a pretty woman walking down the street

How does it manages to control the canards with this configuration? Does it has fly by wire?

Супер люкс вариант!

GREAT

so what stage hush kits do these birds need to operate legally and most AP's?

Una linea bellissima.

What video camera / lens did you use for these shots? and why NO live sound/ audio.

Beautiful aircraft 👍👍 The after sales and spare parts was run like Alfa Romeo 😄 Guess and giggle, just Italian apart from that which can be fixed I'm not sure why they have not sold more ❓
