LOOP News 9 NOV 07: PIPER'S NEW MATRIXPIPER launched its first new aircraft for years at the annual AOPA Expo, held in Connecticut, USA in early October. The aircraft is the Piper Matrix, based on the six-seat Malibu Mirage and powered by a 350hp piston engine. While the Matrix is clearly aimed at the Cirrus SR22, the current best-selling single-engine piston aircraft, it also has a 'proper' cabin with luxurious seating, door and steps. "Many of our customers and prospective buyers told us that they wanted an airplane that provided the best in luxury, elegance and performance at a price that is hundreds of thousands of dollars below what has been available," said Piper President James Bass. "The Piper Matrix fills those requirements, and it does it on the finest, most proven, airframe coupled with the most advanced technology available in General Aviation." The unpressurised Matrix has an Avidyne Entegra glass cockpit, retractable gear and is priced at $757,000. It can carry a payload of 800lb, has a ceiling of 17,500ft, max cruise speed of 202kt with a range of 831nm. W: www.newpiper.com |                      | ||||||
