[@rodanderson8490]

WHEN you want to make a "grand entrance" at a FBO. I've only seen one in real life. I couldn't take my eyes of it as it taxied to the ramp and parked. Absolutely gorgeous! Italians certainly know how to design and build beautiful machines.

[@MattsAviationChannel]

Thank you, Rod! It was great to see this Piaggio P-180 at the beautiful Engadin airport. It is the highest airport in Europe, at 1,707 m (5,600 feet). Landing and take-off speed are higher at this altitude because of the thin air. The Piaggio P.180 is a very fast aircraft with a maximum speed of 740 km/h / 400 knots.

[@ttystikkrocks1042]

@@MattsAviationChannel checking in from Colorado here, we have lots of airports higher than that. Check out Leadville/Lake County Airport, KLXV, 9934' highest in the United States. I wonder if that Piaggio could even land there?

[@jamespires3383]

@@ttystikkrocks1042 shouldn’t have any issues. Weather would be the only factor, and inherently the pilot's own proffciency at mountain flying.

[@molegfgfgf]

When they go propeller driven with electric motors this will be a good design

[@homomorphic]

The engineering is also spectacular. The front wing is a second wing (not a canard) that is there to allow the rear wing to be set far enough back that it allows the engines to be mounted close to the centerline (since the fuselage is tapered at that point). This provides easier control in a single engine loss and it moves the engines far enough back that the interior noise is similar to a jet.

[@APW_Manbow]

It came to the market in the 90's as a Japanese Army utility aircraft. Beechcraft 1900 was adopted, but if it was Avanti, it would have been a fun army.

[@MattsAviationChannel]

Thank you for your comment. That is nice to hear. It was great to see this plane at the beautiful Engadine airport. This is the highest airport in Europe at 1,707 metres (5,600 feet). The landing and take-off speed is higher at this altitude due to the lower air density. The Piaggio P.180 is a very fast aircraft with a top speed of 740 km/h / 400 knots.

[@APW_Manbow]

At that time, Nagoya Airport was an airport with routes from all over the world. It is also the airport where the Mitsubishi MU-2, the previous generation of Avanti, was developed and manufactured.

[@MattsAviationChannel]

Thanks for the interesting facts. The Mitsubishi MU-2 has become very rare nowadays.

[@APW_Manbow]

The MU-2 was active as a rescue search aircraft on the Air Self-Defense Force. They have already retired and are replaced by BAe125. There is no MU-2 actually working in Japan.

[@ubermenschen3636]

Why did you discontinue flying the P180?

[@Ryarios]

How were they to fly? It looks like they may be an unforgiving aircraft to fly with the propellers so far back and up high. Are the canards automatically trimmed? If so, what do you do if that system fails.

[@MotoMischiefs]

@@Ryarios They fly just as easy as a King Air, handles well. No Canards, common miss conception, it is a forward wing with build in flaps, they work very well. The whole plane is very well designed, and considering it goes to 410 and can go 400kts, pretty amazing.

Thank you! It was great to see this Piaggio P-180 at the beautiful Engadin Airport. This is the highest airport in Europe is at 1,707 metres (5,600 ft). The landing and take-off speed are higher at this altitude because of the thin air. The Piaggio P.180 is a very fast plane indeed with a max speed of 740 km/h / 400 knots.

You sure catch some good registrations. At 3:22 makes me think of Heidi's Switzerland.

Many thanks, James ! It was great to see this stunning Piaggio P-180 at the beautiful Engadin Airport. Have a great weekend.

[@oldschoolmotorsickle]

The best looking turboprop on the ramp or in the sky. I know it doesn’t “need” a pair of fan jets to compete, but it’s an intriguing idea. I’d be surprised if Piaggio hasn’t done a feasibility study of the concept.

[@xyzaero]

The Arab owners of Piaggio financed a “jet study” as far as I can remember. Please don’t ask for links, I stick to print media info in general.

[@theodorehaskins3756]

That’s some serious flying there, and sticking the landing at the end, is the cherry on top. Bravo! BTW! Great video, and what a magnificent machine. Cheers 🥂

[@MattsAviationChannel]

Thank you for your awesome comment! The Piaggio P-180 is indeed a magnificent machine, known for its unique design and impressive performance. It's capable of landing on short runways and has a maximum speed of around 395 knots (456 mph). Cheers to the pilots who handle this serious flying with such skill! 🥂

[@mmbmbmbmb]

@@MattsAviationChannel Ha ha, indeed, at certain angles it is impossible to tell which is it's back or front. And, oh how well I can understand, that you like to spend much time up there at this fine airport up in the mountains with it's fresh air that makes breathing easy.

[@ronnichols884]

Canards,rear facing turbo props, T tail, turned up wing tips. This aircraft has all the latest features. Should be a great aircraft.

My greatest respect to the aviation engineer 🇬🇷

[@MattsAviationChannel]

Thank you for your appreciation! Aviation engineers play a crucial role in designing and maintaining aircraft like the Piaggio P-180 Avanti EVO. This unique aircraft is known for its innovative design, including its forward-swept wings and pusher turboprop engines, which contribute to its impressive performance and fuel efficiency. It's truly a marvel of engineering! 🛩️👨‍🔧

[@MattsAviationChannel]

Merci de regarder ! Oui, c'est un avion absolument incroyable ! C'était génial de voir ce Piaggio P-180 sur le magnifique aéroport d'Engadin. C'est l'aéroport le plus haut d'Europe, à 1 707 mètres (5 600 pieds). La vitesse d'atterrissage et de décollage est plus élevée à cette altitude en raison de la faible épaisseur de l'air. Le Piaggio P.180 est un avion très rapide avec une vitesse maximale de 740 km/h / 400 nœuds.

[@ortalejr]

We are about to operate one of those beautiful planes. We have received recently one Piaggio Avanti II to be used in our flight operations in Military Police in Brazil. I am very eager to be in the simulator in West Palm Beach very soon and see what it is capable of.

[@MattsAviationChannel]

[@donaldstanfield8862]

Wow! Please come back and tell about your experiences!!!

[@Demun1649]

The very best, and most beautiful, aircraft in the world. Fastest turboprop, cheaper to maintain than a jet, and as fast. This is my preferred aircraft flying between Ireland and Scotland when I go to my other house. There is no better experience. Although a flight on the Zeppelin NT nearly stole me away for good. If I had to buy one, I'd buy both.
