Power
The P180 Avanti II is equipped with two powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66B engines.
Quiet and reliable, they can develop a maximum thermal power of over 1630 HP each (derated
to 850 SHP).
The Piaggio Aero P180 Avanti II can reach a service ceiling of 41,000 ft (12.500 m) and is the fastest
twin engine turboprop ever built.
In fact, the aircraft’s combination of power and economical operation enables it to reach a certified
maximum speed of: 402 knots (463 mph, 745 km/h) at 31,000 ft (9.450 m), with a maximum
operating mach (MMO) of 0.70, performance numbers that are truly superior to many jet aircraft.
 Fly different, fly green
One small step forward for aviation, one giant leap for the environment: innovative technical,
design and construction solutions enable the Piaggio Aero P180 Avanti II to burn 40% less fuel
than a similar category, which also means 40% less emissions released into the atmosphere.
And there’s more.
That’s why the Piaggio Aero P180 Avanti II is a “green aircraft”.
All this is combined with remarkable versatility, has seen the P180 Avanti II become one of the
most widely used aircraft in public services such as, air ambulance, air rescue, law enforcement,

Remarkable performance with low operating costs

With its totally innovative aerodynamic solutions, the design of the P180 Avanti II is unique and
unmistakable.
A single, continuous aerodynamic curve surrounds the Piaggio Aero P180 Avanti II from nose to
tail to create a perfect profile that maintains laminar flow, thus minimizing drag and maximizing
performance. Thanks to the configuration with three lifting surfaces, drag is reduced by 34%
when compared to conventional aircraft.
This amazing design solution translates into the combination of much higher performance
combined with remarkably low operating costs.
 Maximum comfort at all altitudes
The P180 Avanti II can host up to 9 passengers in comfort, thanks to the cross-section of its full,
stand-up cabin, which is the most spacious in this class of aircraft.
The category leading stand up cabin of the P180 Avanti II is 5’9” (1.75 m) high and 6’1” (1.85 m)
wide, an ideal space for work and relaxation. And with its perfect pressurization (a maximum
pressure differential of 9.0 PSI), the Piaggio Aero P180 Avanti II can maintain sea level cabin
pressure up to an altitude of 24,000 ft (7.300 m) for maximum passenger comfort.
Its spacious, sumptuous seats, that are fully reclining, and many other available amenities ensure
that every flight experience is memorable and rejuvenating.
And to further enhance the comfort of your flight, the P180 Avanti II offers a comfortable, well
equipped rest room featuring a seat with a safety belt that is type-approved for takeoff and
landing, as well as a spacious clothes/luggage compartment.
The oversized baggage compartment with capacity of 1.25 cubic meters is accessible from the
outside and so spacious, it can even accommodate extra-large pieces of baggage including golf
and ski bags.

 Where you want, when you want
Every component and system in the P180 Avanti II is carefully designed to provide the highest
levels of efficiency and safety under all flight conditions. With its extended cruising range, the
Piaggio Aero P180 Avanti II can easily reach any medium range destination without the need
for refueling stops. Unlike many aircraft in its class, it can take off and land on runways less than
1000 meters long and thanks to this capability and its steep approach certification, the P180
Avanti II provides access to airports not even served by scheduled airlines or business jets.

Fly different, fly quietly

A quiet and serene cabin noise level of only 68dba is possible due to the single continuous
Serenity matters aerodynamic curve of the fuselage of the P180 Avanti II. This combined, with a push propeller
configuration that prevents turbulence from interfering with wing aerodynamics, ensures
cabin quietness through a comprehensive drag and noise reduction.

A hi-tech cockpit and avionics system

The integrated digital cockpit is designed to offer pilots and passengers of the Piaggio Aero
P180 Avanti II the safety, efficiency and reliability of the most advanced technology.
It is equipped with the comprehensive Collins Pro Line 21, digital avionics suite, that is
completely integrated with the aircraft’s navigation and communication systems, and is
certified for full IFR use - even with a single pilot.
