True. I lived near the Nice airport in France as a kid, and a avantis would often fly over the house. The sound is quite unique compared to other planes, and they are very loud.
@@arthurjakvik5213 why?... turbine engine?.. looks like... I live under the primary flight path at Luke AFB in Phoenix... occasionally they light up the afterburner and.. it gets loud.. for a few seconds
I live close to the approach path for runway 17 in Corvallis and just had one of these fly over. It sounded like a forty-seven foot long Murder Hornet!

Ahh yes the “flying squid” of twin engine turboprop planes. Quite a funky design, but highly efficient with twin pusher props powering a well engineered streamlined body and sharing traits of Italian supercars.
Actually, "Piaggio's chief engineer, Alessandro Mazzoni, filed in 1982 to patent the Avanti design. Beginning in 1983, Gates Learjet partnered with Piaggio to develop a fuselage for the new aircraft (referred to as Gates Piaggio GP-180)..."
I flew in one of these on a business trip. It is a remarkable airplane. The interior was world-class beautiful with plenty of room to move about. And the performance was breathtaking.
Because the video completely fails to display the aggressive FAR too loud sound the thing makes in the air, its obnoxious and frankly unacceptable. It is SO much more noise than all the other civils of around its size and bigger. Why does it make such a noise? Because the turbo prop exhaust is blasting straight into the pusher props, which are chopping across the trailing edge. Basic design fault, so it does not matter how fancy it looks, its a poor piece of engineering. Read the post from 64corvettedriver, etc. I'm a plane enthusiast, but there ARE limits!
@@badraven9532I'm not sure that you're correct. The blades are ("were", actually) shorter than the original design they came from due to ground clearance on takeoff. The newer Avanti (has winglets) and specially designed propellers. The noise is reduced but not eliminated. In fact, in many cases, care is only given to noises that people hear. That's why fanboys love supersonic so much; "because f the whales".
I saw one at Regan National Airport in Washington, DC while bike ridding the George Washington Parkway bike trail sever al years ago. It was on the tarmac just starting up and I paused to watch it through the security fence as it taxied away blasting me with prop wash and delicious smelling Jet-A exhaust. It's take off, which I also watched, was spectacular!
@@marcducati Ferraris are very reliable... it's the fact that people just shut them off without any preventative maintenance, then try to run the piss out of them 6 months later. if you did that to a camry you'd eventually have issues.
Good video of a nice aircraft. I thought it was a bit dangerous for the pilot to rush to open baggage compartment- no passenger is that important to risk a serious injury for.
Yep. It's an interesting design, but that baggage compartment location isn't safe unless the props are completely still. At even single digit rpms that blade would flatten you.
Ignorante, Just ignorante. P180 zero crash, zero death, and zero injury. HEI idiot, baggage Is a Little, why not Cruise ship, buy Just an air for short range. Ignorant ignorant, go game with ignorant game for ignoranti child idioooooot
I've always loved the look of this plane. It reminds me of Burt Rutan's original Long EZ of 1979. Just the grown up version. But I've had the opportunity see and hear these things in person and they're just unpleasantly loud. And I've never understood why. I've been around much bigger and heavier turbo props that were much quieter.
First it is a VERY bad habit to do what that guy did, because it shows he does not respect the propeller while turning, and he might forget one day while the engine is running and go back there and regret it.
One flys over us from Biggin Hill close by. It’s beautiful, clever and extraordinarily efficient . But the NOISE is shocking, so I’m surprised it’s permitted over built up areas . Must be heading for bans from some airfields , which is so sad for such a gorgeous aircraft ...
We never see these in the states mr. Pockett, and with it being all silver, i like the livery, here in the states we have a retro and original airstream pull behind camper, big status symbol and very expensive because they were one of the first designs, anyway this plane if spotted in the skies in the states, well it has ufo sighting reports written all over it,lol
I remember, possible twenty years ago, this plane in Moscow Sheremetyevo, in winter...possible for winter tests, with a very cold situation? Greetings from Genova, town of Piaggio 180...😉
Simply superb.. thanks for sharing..!! ( Why is that pilot in such a hurry.. to open that compartment near spinning blades...even slow are dangerous..what is he..some show off.. risking life and limb...)
One of these frequents the area I live in (Toronto Canada). It’s got a very distinctive higher pitch. It’s also slightly annoying lol. I don’t hear that “mosquito” sound in this clip, maybe the prop configuration is different to what I’m used to here.
I remember saying this aircraft in Flight testing. Long range, used very little fuel for its size. And I believe it had to be done by the last day of the year, and I'm not sure what year that was. But because of a landing gear issue, the post office was more than willing to certify the letter that they sent to the company they were working for that the flight test was done on December 32nd of that year.
If you ever heard one flying over you, you will never forget it and you can hear it coming from miles away
Yup. Had one fly over about 20 minutes ago. Knew what it was even before I could see it.

Possibly my favourite registration of all time! D-INKY
Check out the G-NUTS, then.
I think it was the one that came over me today! I literally thought the same thing seeing the Reg!

I guess aviation can have personalised registrations as well lol
My brother flew one of these for years as a corporate pilot. He loved this plane!

Flying squid of the day, P180!
Damn, everything about this plane looks weird
I love it
I flew in one of these on a business trip. It is a remarkable airplane. The interior was world-class beautiful with plenty of room to move about. And the performance was breathtaking.
I was wishing to see the interior.
Breathing was a problem?
Fuck, off count,no money,for bus
Can cruise up to 400 knots. Very quick for a turboprop aircraft
That is one powerful machine🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 the climb rate, 20 seconds take off roll😍
I would choose this over a private jet any day; beautiful aircraft, a work of art.
This is easily the most beautiful aircraft outside the Airbus range.
I'll never understand people who give this beautiful video a thumb's down. Never.

What an absolutely beautiful twin 5 bladed engine flying machine.
Had the pleasure once from Nashville to Scranton
What a ride!
Stupendo! Amazing piece of our Italian engineering! Fantastico pezzo di ingegneria italiana
Support Piaggio from Italy
This plane looks so unusual yet soooo sleek
I LOVE it! What a beautiful design and an amazing piece of engineering!
Just love the sound of turbo props.
I thought this was a concept private jet for expo! Then it took off marvellously! What a cute plane!!!
Ho lavorato con questi aerei nell' aeronautica militare italiana 1994
Sono super avanzati,belli e veloci ,un prodotto italiano d'eccellenza :-)
Did they belong to some kind of a VIP transport squadron?
Awesome is an understatement. I wish I had the opportunity to fly in this epitome of human ingenuity

"delicious smelling Jet-A exhaust". What a sad thing to write.
This plane goes 462 miles an hour @ FL310.. holy crap!! Could fly side by side with 737 if there’s one flying by it
The Ferrari of twin turboprops. Beautiful! 😊
Eric Lozen hope it’s more reliable and better built

Probably one of the coolest planes ever built, I would like to check it out.
I like how that little R22 hover taxied right behind that twin turbo prop that just passed at full throttle.
I love these things, such a unique aircraft. They are way on the top of aircraft I want to spot in person. Great footage!
Thank you! We are starting to see more and more of them which is great!
The P180 is a sweet build
Very nice job on the video work! Thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous without any silly graphics.
italians are design kings , so beautiful
Love the counter-rotating propellers.
I had the privilege to see one landing at Eagle County a couple years ago. Beautiful plane.
Обалденная реализация экономичный
Really nice video mate! The P-180 is such an impressive catch! Liked
Thank you!
🔴Les dejo uno de los mejores vídeos que he realizado hasta ahora en Español, el Avión Privado Falcon 8X th-cam.com/video/5YuPNhGZTRA/w-d-xo.html
Excellent footage. Nice to see this rare airplane. Scary to see that guy get so close to the prop.
Thank you!
Looks like a hybrid of all manner of aircraft types
Looks like it was asambled the wrong way and some how worked, love it
That is one lovely aircraft, such a fluid design
Rare model aircraft!
I worked with her!✈💙
I saw this go over me here on Cleeve Hill, love the original design. Great video..
Thank you!
So glad they brought it back.
I have had a chance to take a close up look at this aircraft. Impressive.
State of the art in personal airplane. Remember a Bugatti design.
Gotta love the registration on this one.
Stood next to one of these... Amazing looking aircraft!

These sometimes fly into the Helena Montana airport. The noise is loud and unmistakable. Beautiful airplane.
I go a ride with my Piaggio i didn't know if i come back!😁
Most times return on foot!😁
Muito lindo esse Piaggio
I dunno about D-INKY, the flying squid but the cool code name for a P180!
@1:15....I wouldn't want to be standing that close to a rotating propeller.
Fully agree
Agree, no need so much hurry and risk for only few seconds!
Kurt Homan what happened to the stewardess who backed into the propeller ?
It was a disasster......
First it is a VERY bad habit to do what that guy did, because it shows he does not respect the propeller while turning, and he might forget one day while the engine is running and go back there and regret it.
He won't regret it.
Five seconds on the electric starter before the fuel starts to burn. That is a quite fast lightoff.
Love this plane
You know for sure when it's flying over!
Reminds me of a catfish 🙂
i wrote the same thing...
It looks like Common Swift or Chimney Swift.
There was a dog in the neighborhood when I was a kid we called Dinky.
@@iskandartaib he could fly?
@@mithrandir491 Nope. He could swim, though..

Love the reg on this “DINKY” a/c 😆😆
Great video! I do not especially like this turboprop. But it is always nice to see. Superb filming as always. Cheers!
Thank you! Yes its a rather special turboprop and a very noisy one on approach!
I had a toy of this plane when i was 4 and im now finally seeing the real thing
Really interesting! If that came from a country where K was the reg letter that would make it complete.
The best I could find was Azerbaijan, 4K -
Probably one of the most beautiful airplanes of all time.

Pure Joy
Beautiful plane
Piaggio have a tradition with planes using pusher-propeller configurations. Look up the Piaggio P.136 and Piaggio P.166!
Que legal kkkkk nunca vi avião desse jeito muito lindo sucesso
One of these flew over my house at 40k Ft i barely saw it. I wish i had some binos at the time
Nice looking.
Great aircraft; too bad the manufacturer cannot support it! Good luck getting any parts in a reasonable timeframe!
Cool💖 turbo prop👍design.
Nice camouflage colour.

@@massimocallegari4898 Wow ! I am impressed.
Really beautiful design.
This one just flew over my house (NCE-BHX). Heard it clearly going over at 25,000ft!
Its different, cool
It looks weird on the drawing board and they may ask the designer if he or she is "crazy" but it flies and stands out Kudos
cool little plane looks like a catfish sounds like a helicopter

That thing must be fast
Looks like something out of Buck Rogers!
Nice Capture✈️
These sounds of the Avianti needs to be added in X Plane
Love it, wish I can buy one
Beautiful airplane. Does anyone else think that the main tires look a bit under inflated?
It's actually pretty standard, as far as I know they do that in order to reduce the stress on the tires upon landing.
No I think they are just about right I have special vision that can predict tire pressure .
Beautiful italian style
Damn those props are giving me MK fatality flashbacks
ahahaha
Extremely high details- thanks!
I want one of these!!!!
