Piper PA31/42 – Cheyenne

Cheyennes actually come in several varieties. The Cheyenne I &II, with variants of each, are developments of the PA31 Chieftain powered by ever increasingly powerful turbine engines. The PA42 pictured here is a different aircraft all together. It flies high and fast (33,000 ft and 290kts/537 km/h).

The cabin of the PA42 is significantly larger than the PA31 Chieftains but it is not quite stand up height. Nevertheless it is very comfortable, fully pressurized of course and there is plenty of leg room.

Cheyennes really can cover long distances in comfort. They are favoured by business flight charters where it is important to be back in the office that day.
