Piston-Prop aircraft in private aviationShort Overview
The more traditional class of propeller-driven aircraft comprises those powered by piston engines, which include nearly all aircraft from the Wright brothers up through World War II. Due to the appearance of jet engines, the popularity of piston engines has declined however, they are preferred by air taxi companies.
Modern piston-prop aircraft are fully
equipped with advanced avionics
enabling flights landing at any type
of airport or airfield strip.
The level of noise and vibration is
the same as turboprop aircraft.
Due to lower cruise altitudes,
the weather affects more the flight.
Most private piston-prop have
3 to 8 seats on board. On unpaved
or grass runways, nothing is better
than a piston-prop aircraft.
