identifying an aircraft
I wonder if someone could help me identify and aircraft I saw several
times on a reason visit to Reno? The plane is has twin pusher props, the tail is delta shaped and the aircraft canard . . . it looked a little like one that Beechcraft made . . . I can't remember the name but the wing and tail wing configuration was completely different. There were two of these planes flying out of RNO. Thank you, Tim |

It needs to be painted a dark grey on top with blue
highlights, medium blue on the sides with a white bottom. That way it can look like a beached whale. Or a catfish.

I think that somebody already answered you, but just in case:
It's a Piaggio Avanti P.180. (http://www.piaggioaero.com/) Reno is one of our mx bases. 12,100 lb T/O weight 395 knots at 28,000 feet. It's the worlds fastest business turboprop. Hope this helps.

I've looked at one up close and can't see anything obvious. Karl N185KG |

I've looked at one up close and can't see anything obvious. Karl N185KG From their Website Main wing leading edge anti-ice is accomplished by directing engine bleed air through a diffuser duct installed in the main wing leading edge. The forward wing contains an electrically activated de-icing blanket on the aluminum alloy leading edge. Nacelle inlets are de-iced by pneumatic boots. To avoid ice ingestion, an inertial separator is installed inside each nacelle. Moreover, the cycling of the nacelle boots is automatically controlled by the Ice Detector System in its primary mode of operation. A timer is provided to cycle the boots for secondary operations. Electric heating of the windshield on both pilot and co-pilot sides is used to guard against or alleviate icing and fogging. No ice protection is provided or required on the horizontal and the vertical tail. |

The front wing (NOT a canard) is electric heat, the engine intakes are
pneumatic boots, and the main wing is heated from engine bleed air. The props are "always heated" from the exhaust, and the empennage is cold.

That's a sweet post; I probably should have read a little farther
before I ended up repeating everything that you said. |
