FLIGHT International, 2 April 1964 17 Rinatdo Piaggio presents Europe's Finest Executive At a take-off weight of 8,38olb (s,47°lb empty) the PORTOFINO cruises at 196-223 mph and has a range of a thousand miles. At this weight the take-off to $oft is only l,6ioft and the single-engined climb is 28yftjmin. The unique cabin of the Portoflno gives the best of two worlds: the freedom of an airliner with the com- panionableness of a light aeroplane. Although the raised flight deck sep- arates the pilot and his duties, the passengers can stand upright, or walk about, yet all in a single cabin—on the other hand the bar and toilet are in a separate com- partment. For those who prefer it, and to allow the cabin to be lit while night flying, the flight deck can easily be curtained off. Because of its high wing and pusher engines the Portqfino gives the best view to both passengers and pilot of any piston-engined executive aeroplane.
