About the Piaggio P.180 Avanti
The Avanti’s rear-mounted “pusher” propellers and small forward wing give it a distinctive look and a cruise speed of about 400 knots, far faster than most turboprops.
Its cabin is taller and wider than most aircraft in its class, and it burns much less fuel than a comparable jet.
