The way I see this, the Avanti is a wonderful aircraft that has not lived up to its full potential.
As mentioned above, It looks good on the ramp, its got a good interior and cruises faster and higher on less fuel than the competion.
Unfortuanately, the manufacturer has not supported the aircraft. For a design this old, I would have expected a new model - the Avant III, Larger overal.
8 Seats and a small galley; 9 including the belted potty.
Improved prop design that produces a pleasant noise that is not annoying.
Props at 1800 rpm??
If this design was taken on by a legacy manufacturer, i'm sure we would see a complete diffference in the number of aircraft out there.
Any takers??
Gulfstream ??
