PIAGGIO AVANTI EVO(2015)

The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a pressurized, twin‑engine pusher‑prop business turboprop designed to bridge the gap between traditional turboprops and light jets. It is typically selected for operators who want jet-like cruise speeds and high-altitude capability while retaining turboprop runway flexibility and fuel-burn characteristics that can be favorable on shorter missions. The canard/three-surface aerodynamics and rear-mounted pusher propellers also shape the cabin environment, with a comparatively quiet cabin forward and an unobstructed aisle in most layouts.

In typical use, the Avanti EVO is strong on 300–900 nm sectors where its cruise speed can compress block times versus conventional turboprops, and where climb and high-altitude cruise help weather avoidance. It can also be a fit for point-to-point access into smaller fields, though performance planning is mission-specific and depends on weight, runway, temperature, and obstacles.

The Avanti EVO’s cabin is known for a relatively tall, wide cross-section for its class and a flat floor with a central aisle, supporting club seating and small-group work. With engines and propellers behind the cabin, perceived noise can be lower in forward seats, though cabin acoustics depend on interior options and maintenance condition. The baggage arrangement typically combines internal and external compartments, supporting business luggage loads for small groups.
