The P180 Avanti boasts an innovative design that incorporates pusher twin turbo-prop engines placed mid-fuselage behind the cabin, while its wing features a unique placement to mount these engines. The aircraft also has a stabilizer atop the tail and small canards at the nose, with elevators on the canards and horizontal trim on the stabilizers. This design provides lift without any downforce imbalance found in standard aircraft plans, resulting in exceptional speed and a pressurized cabin for 9 passengers and two crew members. The P180's cabin and fuselage contribute to its lift, reducing wing loading, while its laminar flow wings and canards decrease drag and increase lift. This scale model is intricately detailed with animatable control surfaces, landing gear, doors, and propellers, making it a standout addition to any aviation collection.
