Why is the Piaggio Avanti so fast?
The Avanti is marketed as being faster than other turboprops and many midsized jets, with cost efficiency as much as 40 percent better than market-competing jets, as a result of less drag and a lower fuel burn rate. The Avanti is one of the quietest turbojet and turboprop business aircraft in production, with a noise level of just 68 dbA (quieter than a mobile phone ring tone).
