If you ever heard one flying over you, you will never forget it and you can hear it coming from miles away

[@projekt6_official]

Yup. Had one fly over about 20 minutes ago. Knew what it was even before I could see it.

[@arthurjakvik5213]

True. I lived near the Nice airport in France as a kid, and a avantis would often fly over the house. The sound is quite unique compared to other planes, and they are very loud.

[@richardcarew4708]

@@arthurjakvik5213 why?... turbine engine?.. looks like... I live under the primary flight path at Luke AFB in Phoenix... occasionally they light up the afterburner and.. it gets loud.. for a few seconds

I live close to the approach path for runway 17 in Corvallis and just had one of these fly over. It sounded like a forty-seven foot long Murder Hornet!

[@gregriddle5163]

My brother flew one of these for years as a corporate pilot. He loved this plane!

[@aestheticcruise8807]

Ahh yes the “flying squid” of twin engine turboprop planes. Quite a funky design, but highly efficient with twin pusher props powering a well engineered streamlined body and sharing traits of Italian supercars.

[@JoakimfromAnka]

Flying squid 😆

[@arcanondrum6543]

Actually, "Piaggio's chief engineer, Alessandro Mazzoni, filed in 1982 to patent the Avanti design. Beginning in 1983, Gates Learjet partnered with Piaggio to develop a fuselage for the new aircraft (referred to as Gates Piaggio GP-180)..."

[@ThuyTran-gc8rd]

Flying squid of the day, P180!

[@motmcd]

I flew in one of these on a business trip. It is a remarkable airplane. The interior was world-class beautiful with plenty of room to move about. And the performance was breathtaking.

[@RichardShelton]

I'll never understand people who give this beautiful video a thumb's down. Never.

[@Scazoid]

KZbin sometimes auto-filled the dislikes i think

[@badraven9532]

Because the video completely fails to display the aggressive FAR too loud sound the thing makes in the air, its obnoxious and frankly unacceptable. It is SO much more noise than all the other civils of around its size and bigger. Why does it make such a noise? Because the turbo prop exhaust is blasting straight into the pusher props, which are chopping across the trailing edge. Basic design fault, so it does not matter how fancy it looks, its a poor piece of engineering. Read the post from 64corvettedriver, etc. I'm a plane enthusiast, but there ARE limits!

[@arcanondrum6543]

​@@badraven9532I'm not sure that you're correct. The blades are ("were", actually) shorter than the original design they came from due to ground clearance on takeoff. The newer Avanti (has winglets) and specially designed propellers. The noise is reduced but not eliminated. In fact, in many cases, care is only given to noises that people hear. That's why fanboys love supersonic so much; "because f the whales".

[@pinkycoffeeboat]

Good video of a nice aircraft. I thought it was a bit dangerous for the pilot to rush to open baggage compartment- no passenger is that important to risk a serious injury for.

[@laurentprevel2920]

Agree 100%

[@DrOneOneOne]

Yep. It's an interesting design, but that baggage compartment location isn't safe unless the props are completely still. At even single digit rpms that blade would flatten you.

[@Scott221]

My thoughts as well! I was surprised to see that.

Kurt Homan what happened to the stewardess who backed into the propeller ? It was a disasster......
