Piaggio P.180 Avanti (N79CN)

Incredible to think that this company produces a good range of scooters, or is Piaggio Aerospace a totally different company?

Wow, interesting to see that much deflection in the canard control surfaces. Nice photo!

As a layperson, this plane just looks wrong. Its fat little body looks like it's in its 2nd trimester, and the back wheels are at an odd angle, which is disconcerting. Those slanty engines on top of the wings (aren't engines supposed to be under???) are plain scary. I'd never fly in that thing.

Great shot though!

@G Zorbas, according to Wikipedia, Piaggio Aerospace "shares its ancestry with motor vehicle manufacturer Piaggio and is one of the world's oldest aircraft manufacturers. Today the company is wholly owned by Abu Dhabi state-owned Mubadala Development Company."

Nice shot Sven, @Colin Seftel,thanks for the good info.!
