General Characteristics

The Piaggio P.166 is a distinctive twin-engine, pusher-propeller utility aircraft developed in Italy. The P.166M was the main military production variant built specifically for the Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare) for use in liaison, light transport, and photographic survey roles. It is easily recognizable by its high-wing and unique pusher engine configuration.

Design and Powerplant

Engine Type: Two Lycoming GSO-480-B1C6 six-cylinder, horizontally opposed, geared, supercharged piston engines.
Engine Power (each): 254 kW (340 hp).
Propellers: Two pusher-type, constant-speed, fully-feathering propellers mounted on the wing trailing edge, minimizing cabin noise.
Configuration: High-wing cantilever monoplane. The high-wing design was adapted from the earlier P.136 amphibian and kept the engines and propellers clear of the ground.
Landing Gear: Retractable tricycle gear.

Performance and Service

Maximum Speed: Approximately 356 km/h (221 mph, 192 knots).
Cruise Speed: Approximately 300 km/h (186 mph, 162 knots).
Range: Varies greatly by payload and variant, but approximately 1,390 km (860 mi, 750 nmi) with maximum payload.
Service History: The P.166M served extensively with the Italian Air Force for logistical support, VIP transport, and reconnaissance.
Legacy: Later variants (like the turboprop P.166DL3/SEM for the Coast Guard) used more powerful Lycoming LTP 101 or Pratt & Whitney PT6A turboprop engines and were used effectively for maritime patrol and ecological surveillance.
