Piper Aircraft Inc. and Piper Generalvertretung Deutschland are collaborating to display aircraft at the upcoming AERO Friedrichshafen 2015, to be held April 15-19. On display will be a single-engine Piper Meridian turboprop, a twin-engine Piper Seneca V, and a Piper Archer DX.
“Year after year, AERO Friedrichshafen is where serious general aviation buyers congregate from across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa,” said Drew McEwen, Piper Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The trade show on the shores of Lake Constance is a prime meeting place for the aviation community and the perfect venue to begin promoting Piper’s industry-leading products with powerful value propositions.
“We are appreciative that Piper Generalvertretung Deutschland, our German dealer, is partnering with Piper to have a strong presence at the show,” he said.

Two Continental turbocharged TSIO-360-RB engines generating 220 hp each power the airplane. The Seneca V is the only twin-engine aircraft to offer the latest in Garmin safety features, like the enhanced AFCS and Level mode. The configuration of multiple entry and baggage doors with the comfort of a cabin class interior makes the Piper Seneca V the perfect business tool.

Powered by the Centurion 2.0S diesel engine, the Archer can cruise at a speed of 114 KTAS / 211 km/h (at 70% power) with only 5.8 gph / 22 lph fuel burn. The G1000 avionics system as standard instrumentation provides a great mix of low workload and high technology.
