Piper PA-31 Navajo
Encyclopedia : P : PI : PIP : Piper PA-31 Navajo
The PA-31 Navajo was designed by Piper Aircraft to fill a gap in their product line; a large twin aircraft using Lycoming engines for the general aviation market was sorely needed in the mid-1960s, and founder W.T. Piper requested the type be developed. Targeted at small-scale cargo and feeder liner operations and the corporate market, the aircraft was a success. It continues to prove a popular choice, but due to greatly decreased demand across the general aviation sector in the 1980s, production of the PA-31 ceased. The Navajo was produced in a variety of versions and a stretched version was called the Navajo Chieftain (PA-31-350).
The pressurized development of the PA-31 series was called the PA-31P Pressurized Navajo; a pressurized, turbine-powered derivative was the PA-31T Cheyenne.
