Hi!

This project, still only referred as Piaggio P-1xx, it's apparently still waiting to effectively start. Piaggio is organizing for a larger production plant to launch the project, that as a total rumour seems t e a lots stretched P-180 fuselage with new wings and rear-mounted turbofan engines...

Anyway I have some contacts directly with Piaggio but there they say no news yet on this...

 A picture can be seen here (very preliminary)

i seen an advertisment in an italian aviation magazine volare about the piaggio aero new biz jet but when it will roll out this unfortunatly i do not know,but it would be nice if piaggio aero did since they built the avanti p180 a pusher aeroplane that crusies faster than a jet at 400 kts.
