Vero Beach, Fla., Nov. 5, 2010 – Piper Aircraft Inc. is exhibiting a mockup of its new single-engine, single-pilot business jet at the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association’s Aviation Summit, Nov. 11-13 in Long Beach. In addition, the company will display other single-engine aircraft, including the turboprop Piper Meridian and Matrix piston-powered cabin class aircraft, Archer light single and PiperSport LSA.
“This will be the first time that the PiperJet Altaire mockup is on the West Coast, and we are anticipating strong interest at this important AOPA venue,” says Randy Groom, Piper executive vice president. “It is the logical extension of the renowned Piper single-engine product line that aircraft owners and pilots have been aspiring to for decades,” he adds.
