"Pusher configurations - especially pusher turboprops like the Piaggio Avanti are noisy"
From a passenger perspective?
Why is this, Aerodynamics?
I would have thought that a pusher configuration would have been a net benefit from a passenger noise POV, and aerodynamics wouldn't make much difference on the ground, would they???
- inamberclad 7y agoI've never been lucky enough to fly in an Avanti, but the noise comes from the turbine exhaust being interrupted at 2000 RPM times 5 blades per revolution. Other pushers I've heard, such as a Skymaster and Long-EZ also make that noise so it may have more to do with the prop being in turbulent air. It's very distinctive.
