• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Piper/Swearingen XPA-33P -- the pressurized Comanche

---Pug (Piper) supplied Ed Swearengen with a set of 400 Comanche wings, and Ed built a totally new round fuselage, on the front of which he attached a 350 HP IO-540 Lycoming.


It's demise is noted here: http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief.aspx?ev_id=18507&key=0


Concept led to the PA-46 Malibu. Also of note, the altered pic above showed a Navajo with PT-6 turboprops ( the Cheyenne test-bed?)
