The 460 MPH Propeller Plane That Outruns Private Jets

It looks like a sleek $8M private jet, cruises at 460 mph at 41,000 feet, and features a luxury VIP cabin—yet it’s powered by twin pusher propellers and burns 40% less fuel than comparable light jets.

In this deep dive, we break down the engineering secrets of the Piaggio P.180 Avanti Evo: its unique three-lifting-surface aerodynamics, 850 HP PT6A-66B pusher engines, short-field capability, and why Baykar’s 2025 acquisition is setting up the "Ferrari of the skies" for a massive future.
