Aircraft made by Ferrari! Test Flight Piaggio Avanti

[@royhi1809]

My favorite non-jet jet aircraft. Nothing sounds like it. Simply Beautiful!

[@hb1338]

It is a jet aircraft - it has two jet engines which turn propellers rather than blow air.

[@arbazann]

​@@hb1338So it's not a jet aircraft.

[@user-kq8if3ud5e]

​@arbazann It is a prop-jet.

[@nickvledder]

I noticed one this morning 7:06UTC above my house. What a noise, what an appearance.

[@Happy-wb8gi]

Beautiful plane. Bravo Italia.

[@jibeneyto91]

I fly one of these, it's an awesome aircraft. The two things I dislike the most are getting in and out of the cockpit and installing the flight controls lock. Engine torque control, especially during take-off, is pretty tricky. The response curve of the power levers is difficult to get used to at first. Not so sure a pair of skies would fit in the cabin baggage compartment though. I've never tried it so may be surprised.

[@waterlife.1905]

Subscribed. Checked out one of your videos and awesomeness.

[@geoffreymartinez7208]

A pair of "skies" would be hard to fit in there. Now, you might have better luck with a pair of skis Get rid of the Autocorrect!

[@marcopolimeni2356]

😊Davide, maybe you don't know that the Ferrari is famous even for the Vespa and the Ape kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWbNoqaBgsqUoZY

[@janhawranke8064]

Nonsense. Designed and made by Piaggio Aero. I worked with the Piaggio team in the early 90's and met Rinaldo Piaggio - the Company owner, at the time. It was considered as "the Ferrari of the sky" for its styling and its performance only.

[@davidebonannini640]

@@janhawranke8064 the claim must have something to do with Piero Ferrari (Enzo Ferrari's son) being a Piaggio shareholder, or former manager, or both, i cannot recall it precisely now and i'm too lazy to check it out.

[@dayleashleynolasco5765]

Agree, shareholder is different from being a designer & engineer. Therefore, I don't think Ferrari (Fiat group) have something to do with this plane. It's obvious that it looks so Piaggio. I'm not saying it's bad because it's not. It's actually one of the best or perhaps the best Turbotrop/private jet out there. With its distinct design that not all would be pleased. But this was all engineered & made for a purpose. Especially the engine, the sound of the turbine & the backwards propellers. I can't wait for the next evolution of this plane. I hope they would make it more roomy, longer & technically sophisticated. No wonder, Aprilia RS-Gp prototype they use in MotoGP designed quite like this. This was the one they have got it's inspiration. It's all about branding. Eventhough the rest of the competition have move on the different design, Aprilia kept this one until today.

[@SGTMARSHALL1]

The best overall review of the plane, I overlooked it a few times but glad I finally watched it. Would love to see it in a V tail instead of a T tail

[@waterlife.1905]

What would be the difference in flight characteristics, having a V tail? I know some high performance planes have them. Not sure what it does for pitch control and movements?

[@SGTMARSHALL1]

@@waterlife.1905 Significant reduction in drag and improved range due to less resistance, pitch should be fairly responsive due to the flaps on the canards. I know the Fouga Magister and YF-23 had a 30 % reduction of induced and parasitic drag having a V-tail over a vertical stabiliser, there is also a significant weight reduction using 2 surface areas instead of 3, most likely smoother yaw, pitch and roll movement too. I would make a few more modifications to the fuselage, windows, wings and access hatches

[@waterlife.1905]

@@SGTMARSHALL1 30 percent is huge. Makes sense because your losing 1/3 of your "stuff" in the back of the plane. Thanks for replying and the insight. I always attributed it to the angles and how they could mitigate the slip stream. And I also hear it's quirky handling sometimes.

[@SGTMARSHALL1]

@@waterlife.1905 I would imagine that a professional design and set up would deliver improved handling results, most military drones and unmanned support aircraft ( Ghost Bat ) are V-tail with minimal adverse control issues and performance and range seems to increased over traditional designs such as the round tubular fuselage and standard tail or T-tail configuration

[@hb1338]

@@SGTMARSHALL1 V-tails can be problematic because they behave very differently from conventional vertical stabilisers - the problem is more the difference than the actual handling characteristics. This doesn't matter in an unmanned aircraft which is driven by an algorithm rather than a human.

[@MojaveDan]

The Piaggios are beautiful planes. They're also super loud. I remember hearing one flying over Texas... And I was in California at the time.

[@kittytrail]

it's not really a loudness problem but one of different sound frequencies due to the rearward facing propellers. the same sound output limitations apply to the Piaggio as to the others. anyway, i like the sound it makes, especially when flying in one! 😏👌

[@arcanondrum6543]

​@@kittytrail No, it "makes that sound" due to the propellers being shorter than others like them. "Why" is ground clearance.

[@GuyMocke]

its amazing to watch.

Oh look, it's an Italian Beechcraft Starship.

[@VWPirates]

Consider this. It was made by the company that makes Vespa scooters so it has more scooter DNA than a Ferrari.

[@dayleashleynolasco5765]

It's just dubbed as a Ferrari of the sky due to the fact that it is made in Italy & the performance is top notch from it's class. But design wise it all screams Piaggio & actually designed by their engineers. No Ferrari whatsoever beside Enzo son Peiro being a shareholder to make this project.

[@adrianrubi5012]

Happy are the rich who want this and can buy it and feed it and keep it new for as long as they want.

[@stephenspinelli1041]

Mechanic who worked on these for years here. This aircraft is a nightmare. Access to systems requiring normal service is terrible, systems are poorly designed (nws, door seal, fwd wing anti ice, no anti skid or touchdown protection) the dispatch reliability sucks. Parts are insanely expensive and hard to come by and Piaggio as a company gives you zero support. Don’t even get me started on how nasty those props look after just a 2 hour flight. King Air’s and XLS’s are a much better option for buyers in this category and will have significantly lower DOC’s.

[@extremathule982]

I've heard that Piaggio sent a killer to kill customers too. Any witnesses as well.

[@arcanondrum6543]

That's great input Stephen, thank you. Do you believe that some of those problems could be easily corrected or is any of it "designed-in atrocious"?

[@mitchellmaerz8429]

[@lorenzor2555]

Beautiful plane indeed. But in italian you don’t have to pronunce the second “i” in the word “Piaggio”. When there is a “i” after “g” (or “c”) it is mute. It serves only to make the “g” sounds like “j” instead of “g”. It is like PIÀJJO, not PIÀJJIO

[@SulaimanTheAviator]

I want that plane.

[@rbslammed6163]

More like made by Vespa Either way it wasn’t “made by Ferrari” it was designed in the 80s long before the Ferrari family took a small position in the company

[@MENSA.lady2]

The is no connection between Piaggio and Ferrari, unless the person responsible for the styling trained there.

The original idea was a joint venture between Piaggio and Learjet, then the yanks pulled out.

At 9:30 you can see that this plane only works if you put an stick on it's back! No other plane has this ability!

[@beno177]

Well done but it never made the cut….the maint costs were crazy high. Cost to buy as well….BUT BOY COULD IT MOVE. Not bad flying but the pilot windshield was tough. The Lear fan if it had made it would have been better and Bill Lear had this idea years ago…Same with Paulson and Gulfstream with the pusher they came up with.

[@normanriggs848]

I still think there is no external servicing of the lav. That is tough for an old fart like me! If I had the money, which I don't, I would never buy this just because it lacks that option. Other than that I never met anyone who disliked it. It was lacking in range but he the EVO seems to have corrected that.

"Made by Ferrari" is the wrong reference. It means it breaks all the time ; the parts are impossible to find and overpriced, and it spends half the time in the garage.

[@zymerstuff9851]

Looks like a Cessna Starship.

[@Subgunman]

Raytheon Beechcraft made the Starship One. Never was a Cessna. Airframe was developed by the Rutan Brothers and all composite. So durable that one suffered a gear up landing with practically zero damage. The downfall of the Starship was due to Beech's decision to allow only one company to do all repairs to be paid by Beech. They took advantage of the monopoly and over billed Beech for services. Beech finally recalled all of the aircraft since most were leased and offered King Airs to the customers. There were several Owned aircraft whose owners refused to give up the aircraft. They were allowed to keep the aircraft and they even wound up purchasing unique parts from the recalled airframes and several airframes were sold complete to owners for parts only. One group even managed to purchase two airframes without an airworthiness certificate. The group managed to fully recertify the aircraft as an Experimental. It cost Beech more money to destroy the remaining airframes since they were composite frames and there was only one certified recycler who was certified to handle composite materials. Two costly mistakes for Beechcraft.

This plain is NOT the most environmentally efficient plane AT ALL! The Nextant 400XT and the Syberjet are both more efficient because they use less fuel per hour to fly over close to-500 NM! This aircraft flying at top speed will use more fuel than its standard fuel burn.

[@SGTMARSHALL1]

The Nextant 400XT has the headroom fit for a midget Filipino and the cabin width is 2 Feet smaller meaning short anorexic passengers so of course it would be more efficient but it's not in the same class as a Piaggio
