f LIGHT International, 23 April 1964 17 Rinaldo Piaggio presents Europe's Finest Executive At a take-off weight of 8,38olb (5,4701b empty) the PORTO FI NO cruises at 1^6-22 3 mph and has a range of a thousand miles. At this weight the take-off to 50ft is only l,6ioft and the single-engined climb is 2 8 7ft 11mm. The unique cabin of the Portofino 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. %JU Because of its high wing and pusher engines the Portojino gives the best view to both passengers and pilot of any piston-engined executive aeroplane Industrie Aeronautiche e Meccaniche RiJVALDO PtAGGIO SpA Viale Brigata Bisagno 14, Genoa, Italy
