The P180 Avanti boasts an innovative design with pusher twin turbo-prop engines placed midway through the fuselage, behind the cabin, and mounted on the wing. This unique aircraft features a tail-mounted stabilizer, as well as small canards at its nose, both of which contribute to lift. The elevators are located on the canards, while the horizontal trim is situated on the stabilizers. Remarkably, this configuration results in no balancing down forces, unlike traditional aircraft plans. Known for its speed and pressurized cabin that accommodates nine passengers and two crew members, the P180 Avanti's cabin and fuselage also help generate lift, reducing wing loading. The laminar flow design of the wing and canards further reduces drag while increasing lift, contributing to the aircraft's overall efficiency. This model is a near-scale replica, displaying detailed exterior texturing and animatable control surfaces, landing gear, doors, and propellers. It comes in various formats with all materials and textures included.
