Why the Pipistrel Panthera is Excellent
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- This is the best-looking and sleekest airplane in general aviation today, and maybe ever; it quickly catches attention. Highly innovative and capable, it is equipped with advanced safety equipment and technology and is perfectly designed to give the crew and passengers an enhanced and unforgettable flying experience. This is the Pipistrel Panthera, a unique 4-seater with an attractive design and efficient performance. Opening a whole new world of opportunities, the Panthera is an excellent aircraft, carefully designed to keep one safe and comfortable, while at the same time being quiet and friendly to the environment. The Pipistrel Panthera is a lightweight, all-composite, highly efficient four-seat aircraft under development by Pipistrel of Slovenia. It is also available as an experimental aircraft, either factory-built or as a kit for amateur construction. Pipistrel hasn’t drifted from devotion to efficient, environmentally friendly flying machines, as the aircraft will eventually be offered in both pure electric and hybrid-electric versions. Some of the main features of the aircraft include an airframe ballistic parachute designed for use at high speeds and low altitudes, an all-composite airframe, and a glass cockpit. The Panthera’s radical appearance certainly makes it look like a next-generation GA aircraft that will move from experimental to certification with style.

Our channel is about Aviation.
We make the best educational aviation videos you've ever seen; my videos are designed to clear misunderstandings about airplanes and explain complicated aviation topics in a simple way.
The nose gear is from the F.8L Falco, which we sold from our Sequoia Aircraft Corp to homebuilders and also to Pipistrel.
As I undrestand, complete landing gear is based on Falco's gear, modified a bit and made of titanium. The prototype had Sequoia Falco landing gear. Btw, Falco is still my favourite aeroplane. EVER!
Really looks great
Excellence all round. What I want for Xmas.
I want one for christmas.......! 😍❤️💕
Looks good. Has potential.
I understand that gear and flap extension speeds are 108 knots, which is quite low for a high-performance airplane, and gear cycling time is also slow.
It's a badass, but isn't the high panel a problem with forward vision especially when landing?
I've heard it's very high.
I need a printed tee shirt of the Panthera.
Will it ds?
Let me guess I could buy my own private jet and a military trainer for the price of 1 of these. Looks really good though.
Edit: I was right.
You could buy a retired fighter jet for the price of one of these, ignore the maintenance costs😳
@@AidenBrown429 Hope to afford a F-4 Phantom someday.
Just waiting for the lotto to send some $$ my way haha
I’m kind of old-fashioned, but old planes will have a place for a long time due to the cost of a new aircraft, and if this is what modern aircraft will be like, I doubt I’ll have any complaints.
You don't like the design of this plane?
@@Rocco-tb9ih Not aesthetically. Practically, yes, it is very well designed. But I do not like how it looks. I prefer aircraft that look utilitarian, almost tough, like the DHC2 (my profile picture.) I know these aircraft are often not aerodynamically clean, and inefficient, but that’s what I like aesthetically.
@@owencarey2954 Ah interesting. I'm very young so naturally I'm biased towards the modern looks that this plane has, but I do see what you mean. I'm training in a Piper at the minute and I suppose it does look more robust in a way
@@Rocco-tb9ih I’m actually quite young too. It’s just that I learned about aviation through aircraft from the Second World War primarily. It gave me appreciation for old fashioned design language. In any case, congrats on having begun your training.
@@owencarey2954 I see! That's really cool man, and thanks!
Althogh the 200 knots/hrs Cruse speed is significant, DA-40 is still my choice.
No one will judge u choosing a far worse plane
@@MonicaHolly143 this thing was made to look good. Which I will admit, this thing looks sleek af. But for 640k+ you have a lot better options than a little 4 seater single. Both performance wise, and looks wise.
@@redactedrider7606 I don’t think you really do. Eventually it’s gonna hit the used market and when it does there’s not a lot of other planes that can compete for the fuel efficiency and cruise performance beside the DA 50RG but that’s also like 1.2 million brand new maybe it might not haul as much as some other planes but not many compete in fuel efficiency for power
@@roguegaming5329 you are dumb , you can buy 2 RV10's and a New Vett for the same price and RV10's usefload smokes this thing
@@zackriden79 and then you have 3 experimental planes. Congrats.
Why are we still developing planes that use Avgas
Who is the intended customer for this? Just curious.
Potential Cirrus customers that want something different but also not as proven.
Their sales is lacking, I contacted both the old and new US dealers and neither replied back to my inquiries.
The problem with this plane is the weak tail strength, that’s why the “never exceed speed” is very very close to the high power cruise speed of 195 kts. Push the nose fwd to descend for landing and your In trouble. The other problem is the engine cooling, it always overheats in climb out in warm climates.
War Thunder Yak 3 player : I know this problem
Im not surprised. Those intakes are just too small. It is an absolutely beautiful air frame and incredibly efficient. I have a feeling they are betting on the electric versions down the road.
@tropicthndr Surprising how much armchair pilots know about a product that is not yet certified and is of yet only experimental. Wow, you are a SUPER-GENIUS!
who tf is pushing the nose forward for descent and how did they get their license?
Push the nose forward to descend for landing ?
You routinely dive bomb the runway ? 😂
SO one thing , in this video this thing taxies up next to a cessna 150 and doesnt look much bigger LOL this thing is way small
That's why I never sent my deposit. You sit on it, not in it. It feels like an expiramental RV in size.
the selling point isn't that it's big, it's that it's fast, efficient and stylish
also, I'm not a *wide guy* so those seats look super comfortable regardless
wrkbg rv are big
Copy Cat, all the information is stolen from AV Web review about Pipistrel Panthera without reference
Is there a Full review of the Panthera on AvWeb? something similar to what I made? Share of a link if there is

@@Dwaynesaviation you are aware of it
@@Dwaynesaviation you removing my posts with proof, why?
Which of your post did I remove?
I deleted no comment or anything...
Not for this price
The electric version of Pipistrel will revolutionize GA. The newest Li-ion battery has the same energy density as hydrocarbon fuel. Incorporating the latest battery tech into the Pipistrel means GA will be more reliable, safe, and economical. Stay with this airplane company.
"...newest Li-ion battery has the same energy density as hydrocarbon fuel..." - WHAT?!
If you can provide evidence for that, I'd be delighted!
wring 1 20 way kess engery 10 t8me half e ergy
Looks aren't everything.
Wrong .We all know a plane flies exactly how it looks!
@@CrossWindsPat ,
I've read your other comments and you contradict yourself. Lol.
@@freedomforever6718 What?!?!? Never!!! Actually almost certainly true.
???????
have excellent only if have 6 seat one engine cheap plane less than 100k $ ewery people can buy and fly. but if not have, not excellent not smart not good.
wringw
Stick yokes suck.
I was only talking about the nose gear, which is unchanged.
