OrionFLY sells its first Piaggio Avanti EVO
OrionFLY, Piaggio aircraft sales and acquisition specialist, has enjoyed the successful sale and delivery of its first Piaggio Avanti EVO to an undisclosed private owner in Europe. Third generation of P.180 Avanti, the Avanti EVO increases its performance, efficiency and comfort. Capable of flying at a maximum cruise speed of 402 KTS (745 km/h) with a range IFR of 1,520 nm (2,815 km), a climbing rate of 2,770 fpm (844 m/per minute) it can reach a service ceiling of 41,000 feet (12,500 m). As regards the Avanti EVO fuel consumption, it is 40% lower than that of jet planes of the same class and makes it one of the most environmentally friendly aircraft in its market segment. A low-noise power plant, where the turbines are fitted with counter-rotating 5-blades scimitar propellers, permits a 68% reduction of the community noise making the Avanti EVO a better neighbour. This major achievement is bringing up to six the record of Piaggio Avanti transactions successfully closed by OrionFLY since we started our activities.
