In today`s world life runs at a great speed. People don't find time to travel from one place to another place. Business class people really need a faster means of transport to travel from a place to another place. A private jet aircraft is necessary for them in today`s life. Vero Beach-based Piper has brought 144,000 aircraft to market and has more than 160 models.
Piper is the only general aviation manufacturer to build and offer aircraft for every general aviation mission, from trainers and high-performance aircraft for personal and business use, to turbine-powered business aircraft and the Piper Jet. The best models combine the best of current technology from proven parts bins blended into one package. The Piper chieftain is one of them. The Piper Chieftain is a larger version of the Piper Navajo. Whilst the airframe looks very much like the Malibu, the wings seems totally new. The Piper Chieftain is a commuter aircraft which is extremely popular with both passengers and air charter companies. In the cockpit, the aircraft is fully airline equipped and includes weather radar and a satellite navigation system. This enables us to operate in most weather conditions thus ensuring a high degree of reliability.
The Chieftain can accommodate up to seven passengers in cabin class comfort or it can be configured to carry up to 750kg freight. The Chieftain has excellent short field capabilities which allow greater flexibility in destinations. Also the Chieftain will take 8 Pax without any problem and 400 liters of fuel (150l/hr cruise setting) which gives you a pleasant range specially if not operated under public transport. More than two thousand of these aircraft have been manufactured for use in every part of the World.
If I could afford a jet, I d certainly prefer a company like Piper to one of the newbies!
