The P180 Avanti boasts an innovative design, powered by pusher twin turbo-prop engines placed mid-fuselage behind the cabin and mounted on its wing. This unique aircraft features a tail-mounted stabilizer and small canards at the nose, with elevators located on the canards and horizontal trim on the stabilizers. Lift is provided by the canards, wing, and stabilizers, eliminating any balancing down forces typical in standard aircraft plans. Known for its speed in its category, the P180 Avanti also offers a pressurized cabin accommodating up to nine passengers and two crew members. The cabin and fuselage contribute significantly to the aircraft's lift, reducing wing loading. Furthermore, the laminar flow design of the wing and canards minimize drag while increasing lift. This nearly scale model comes in various formats, complete with animatable control surfaces, landing gear, doors, and propellers, as well as all materials and textures displayed.
