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.

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.

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

Beautiful Aircraft !!! Forward Italia 🇮🇹 🇮🇹

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.

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!

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!

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

This is the sweetest looking aircraft ever!

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.

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

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

Excellent video and great information about the P180 Avanti!

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.

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

It's such a beauty!

디자인의 진화로 연료를 절약하는 기술 친환경 기술입니다

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

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

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

Awesome video! I love the Piaggio!

That aircraft has such a distinctive sound!!

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

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

What a stunning looking plane

Absolutely beautiful. 💪🇮🇹👍

Amazing video as always Matt 👍 👌

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

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

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

Both fuselage and engine is different! Beautiful video ❤

So cool video!

Wonderful video!! 👍👍

Nice content 👍👍 I had to subscribe 😍

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!

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.

Lovely catch mate. Great job! ☺👍

I love this design!

Beautiful, innovative aircraft.

Fantastic 😍

É uma máquina inovadora e fantástica.

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

Good catch 👏 👌 👍

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

Spectacular view 😊

Excellent stuff bro

enjoyed 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

Belíssimo!!!

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

Great video!

Awesome plane ..

Very cool

Beautiful

What a beaut.

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

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

Hermoso, productivo.

Cool design

Really nice catch Matt!!

Italian engineering and design. Great.

It's very nice aircraft P180

Very nice

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

It's a remarkable looking aircraft.

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

We have two in Green Bay. Real beauties.

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

I love this plane.

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

Loved it. I want one. Steven Blue

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!

*Nice*

GREAT

É muito lindo.🇧🇷

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

It is different and cool looking at the same time.

Una linea bellissima.

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.

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

Супер люкс вариант!

Nice video Matt! One quick feedback, I don't know how may times I heard the "The Piaggio P180" in this video (perhaps 30+), started to get a lil bit irritating hearing "The Piaggio P180".

Very interesting. Would like to see interior of this plane.

Nice Bro

My, what a strange looking plane.

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
