Piaggio P-180

Piaggio P-180 is considered to be one of the most executive aircraft in Italy. The aircraft is equipped with twin an engine that is turboprop and is installed in a pusher configuration. Piaggio P-180 has a design that is configured on a three-surface with two wing and principal tailplane together with the main wing. This plane has wing spars that pass outside the cabin area of the passenger. It is believed that the fuel efficiency of this aircraft is considered to be good and is of the same level as that of turbojets. The plane flies at the same altitude range and speed as the turbojets ("P180 Avanti EVO", 2017).

One of the brands of the plane is P-180 Avanti which is one of the first production variants. The plane is usually accompanied by one crew and has a capacity of about 7 to 9. The plane has a fuel consumption of 0.220 kg/km (0.779lb/mi). The control speed of the plane is at a minimum of 115mph. Moreover, the cruise speed of this aircraft is about 589 km/h. The aircraft is still in operation. The company producing the aircrafts had been liquidated through in the early years of its operation. It, however, came back to normal. This plane meets the travel need of small families or few people who wish to travel as a team. The aircraft would be suitable for small businesses that require traveling on the side of the management of the business ("P180 Avanti EVO", 2017).

Falcon 7X

This is a jumbo business cabin jet that costs about $35 million. This plane is produced by Dassault Aviation. The design of this aircraft includes a mid-height horizontal stabilizer and a cantilever monoplane that has three engines. The plan has sufficient room to carry one pilot, two crew members, and 20 passengers. The plane is useful for business even though it can also be used in wars. The plan has a length of 23.19 m out of which 11.91 forms part of the cabin length. Its height is measured 7.813 m, and the wings span to about 26.21 m. The plane is so comfortable and enjoys the benefit of reduction in the consumption rate of the fuel. It is controlled on a digital platform and enjoy a safer landing as compared to other planes ("Falcon 7X", 2017).

Its heth This plane enjoys a cruise speed of about 850 km/h which is equivalent to 459 kn.The aircraft lands on a runway of a minimum of 631 m and a maximum of 656m. It has a significant operating weight of 36,600lb and a thrust of 6,4012 lb. The production of the planes has been on the constant increase of about 260 Falcon 7X since 2007 up to the year 2016. In my own opinion, I think this aircraft is mainly suited for wars. This may require some improvements in the wing designs though, but it would be worth it given the compelling nature of this plane. I think its beautiful nature also makes it suitable to be used as a business plane and most people may consider it to be a prototype of how a business plane ought to look like in future. This aircraft is of a kind since it combines power, elegance, and suitability to serve the needs of the user at all the time ("Falcon 7X", 2017).
