About the Piaggio Avanti EVO

Type certificated 1990 Source: FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet

Overview

The Piaggio Avanti EVO is the current-production refinement of the P.180 Avanti twin-turboprop, keeping the three-surface canard layout and rear-mounted pusher propellers that give the type jet-class speed on turboprop fuel. The EVO adds winglets, five-blade scimitar propellers, and a redesigned engine installation that cut external noise and improve climb and range. It cruises at up to 402 knots true at 41,000 feet on two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66B engines, each flat-rated at 850 shp.

The EVO shares the original P.180 type certificate, certified in Italy in 1990, as a continuation configuration of the Avanti II; production continues under Baykar Piaggio Aerospace, which acquired the company in 2025. Buyers cross-shop it against the Cessna Conquest II and Cessna Conquest I among pressurised turboprop twins and the Pilatus PC-12 for cabin and range; the Piaggio P-180 Avanti is the Avanti II baseline it evolves from.

Key Features for GA Buyers

  • Jet speed, turboprop economy. Cruise near 400 knots true at a normal-cruise burn around 90 gallons per hour delivers jet-like trip times at turboprop operating cost.
  • Quieter and longer-legged than the Avanti II. Five-blade scimitar propellers and revised nacelles lower cabin and community noise, and aerodynamic refinements extend range to about 1,770 nautical miles on the same usable fuel.
  • Class-leading cabin. The wide, stand-up pressurised cabin is larger than a King Air or a light jet and seats seven to nine passengers behind the pusher propellers.
  • Still in production. Unlike most fast cabin-class turboprops, the EVO is still being built, with factory support and parts renewed under Baykar ownership.

Trade-offs

  • Demanding to own and fly. A complex, high-performance, pressurised twin requires type-specific training and the high-performance, complex, high-altitude, pressurisation, and multi-engine endorsements.
  • Real operating cost. Direct operating cost runs roughly 1,100 dollars per hour before fixed costs, and overhaul reserves on two PT6A-66B engines are a meaningful budget line.
  • Recovering support network. As a low-volume aircraft from a manufacturer recently emerged from administration, its parts and service network is narrower than mainstream turboprops, though Baykar has restarted production and pledged expanded support.
  • Niche resale. A small fleet and specialized maintenance make values more variable than mainstream cabin-class types, so verify regional service coverage before buying.
