One of the most intriguing four-seaters emerging from a European company today is the Tecnam P2010, a composite fuselage, high-wing design intended to be both economical and capable.
Tecnam test pilots flew the test example to Aero Friedrichshafen, a journey of nearly 500 nm, cruising at 10,000 feet for much of the flight. Powered by a 180 hp Lycoming IO-360 engine and with a fuel capacity of 55 gallons, the P2010 has a maximum range of close to 700 nm at 65-percent power and 130 knots.
