Piper BLEW THE DOORS OFF NBAA 2006 with the
announcement of their innovative new PiperJet. We've known
about this for a while, but we'll admit to having been quite
pleasantly surprised at how nice it seems to be turning out. What
we're speaking of, of course, is Piper's massive NBAA
announcement... their long-awaited, if unconventional, entry into
the jet business.
Piper's latest move is their long-awaited expansion expand
into the jet market with the all-new PiperJet, a bird that they
call "a revolutionary new aircraft that will offer customers a
class-setting combination of performance, style, utility,
capability and pricing."
In making the announcement at NBAA 2006, Piper revealed that the
PiperJet's clean-sheet design incorporates single-engine turbofan
power for optimum cost efficiency, state-of-the-art safety
measures, and a strong, smooth all-metal body.
The PiperJet will be capable of reaching a cruising speed of 360
knots and a maximum operating altitude of 35,000 feet. The six
passenger PiperJet - with an option for either a seventh seat or
enclosable lavatory - offers a mission-capable profile and sensuous
luxury that sets the standard in its class, with a range of 1,300
nautical miles and a full-fuel payload of 800 lbs.
The Historic Piper
Legacy
From Cubs to Meridians
-- and BEYOND... Piper makes each and every aircraft they
build their own. From the Arrow-inspired Warrior trainer... to the
Cherokee Six... to the Seminole and Aztec twins... Pipers are easy
to spot on the ramp, and even easier to find pilots simply raving
about their planes. And then there's Piper's business-class singles
-- available in piston form (Mirage) or turbine (Meridian) that are
two of the sweetest singles to fly out there. And of course... now
there's the PiperJet... wow.
Piper Aircraft, Inc. is headquartered in Vero
Beach, FL, where its rich legacy is born of 70 years of
unparalleled history, with more than 144,000 aircraft brought to
market and more than 160 models certified. Approximately 90,000 of
those aircraft are still flying and being serviced and supported on
every continent by Piper's 65 service centers, 40 dealers and 2,500
field personnel. Today, 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 now,
the PiperJet.
When Mr. Piper introduced the Piper Cub in 1937, he had a dream.
He felt that everyone should fly. And he believed that Piper could
provide everyone with that freedom.
Still keeping his dream alive today, Piper is the only general
aviation manufacturer to offer a complete line of aircraft to help
realize the flying dreams of most any pilot. From rugged, reliable
trainers to high-performance turbo-props, Piper creates the highest
quality craft for everyone -- from new pilots to adventure-seekers
to serious business travelers.
ANN is told that "there is a feeling that everyone on Team Piper
shares, a torch that has been passed from generation to generation.
A feeling of wonder, of veneration, of excitement, of personal
commitment to the dream. From the head office to the factory floor,
there is an understanding that we at team Piper are not just making
a thing – we’re making magic. We’re making
freedom. We’re making dreams come true. We’re giving
them wings."
"And that feeling has engendered a deep personal commitment to
quality in everyone here. We know the value of what we make. And
we’re determined to make it the best it can possibly be. We
build quality in every step of the way so our owners are sure of it
in the end. It is our shared passion to ensure that every one of
our customers is totally satisfied with their New Piper
experience.
That’s why we developed our Standards of Excellence
– a set of guidelines and standards that will help ensure
consistently outstanding treatment of our pilots at every stage of
their Piper experience.
We know we don’t just make airplanes. We create the
freedom of flight. That’s why we give our absolute best to
everything we do."
