Italian airframer, Tecnam has secured Federal Aviation Administration Type Certification for its P Twenty Ten piston engined general aviation aircraft.
The high wing, four-seat aircraft brings together an advanced technology all carbon fibre fuselage with a metal wing and stabilator.
The wide composite cabin allows for a large instrument panel with three avionics options; analogue IFR, a Garmin G500 IFR or twin-screen Garmin G1000 IFR with integrated GFC700 autopilot.
It is powered by a 180 hp Lycoming IO-360-M1A piston engine driving a two bladed fixed pitch propeller. The engine that can run on both Mogas and Avgas, consumes 9.14 US Gal/h (34.6 lt/h) and enables a top speed of 140 kts (260 kmph).
With a maximum take-off weight of up to 2557 lb (1160 kg), the P2010 can carry a useful load of 992 lb (450 kg). The wing box mounted 240 litres fuel tank gives a maximum range of 715 nautical miles.
Tecnam has setup a customer delivery center, assembly facility and its U.S. subsidiary headquarters at the Sebring Regional Airport in Florida.
