a

going

piece

of

machinery”

No

term

could

more

aptly

describe

the

beautiful,

wonderful

Piper

Comanche,

the

sensation

of

the

business

aircraft

world.

Here's

the

only

single-engine

business

airplane

with

both

high

performance

and

truly

spacious

comfort.

Here's

a

plane

that

wants

to

fly

so

much

and

flies

so well

that

you,

too,

will

get

a

new

exhilaration

at

being

in

command

of

such

an

outstanding

airplane.

From

the

moment

you

open

the

throttle

until

you

land

effortlessly

at

your

destination

you'll

agree

that

never

has

an

airplane

been

designed

with

so

much

aerodynamic

‘‘personality.”

And

Piper

gives

you

your

choice

of

two

fine

Comanche

models.

For

maximum

economy

and

good

solid

160

mph

cruise,

Piper

offers

the

180

horsepower

Comanche.

For

over-three-mile-a-minute

cruise

and

sensational

“‘get

up

and

go,”

select

the

250

horsepower

Comanche.

In

either

you

get

the

same

won-

derful

aerodynamic

characteristics

which

distinguish

the

Comanche

from

others

in

its

class.

And

you

get

a

far

roomier

cabin,

much

larger

baggage

capacity

than

in

any

others.

The

day

when

you,

too,

walk

up

to

your

own

Comanche

will

be

the

day you

gain

an

en-

tirely

new

understanding

of

the

value

and

utility

of

a

company

or

privately

owned

airplane...whether

you've

owned

an

airplane

previ-

ously

or

not.

Here

is

economical

air

transportation

at

its

very

best.

Nothing

in its

class

will

give

you

the

all-around

satisfaction

that

is

yours

with

the

Comanche.

or

figures

based

on

“clean”

normal

equipment,

such

as

However,

it

is

to

and publish

only

figures

for

performance

which

can

be

expected

from

production-line

aircraft

and

completely

Comparing

aircraft

can

be

misleading—and

disappointing.

Only

SIMPLIFIED

WEIGHT

SAVING,

COST

SAVING,

MAINTENANCE

SAVING

SYSTEMS

With

no

compromise

in

quality,

the

systems

in

the

Comanche

have

been

ingeniously

engineered

and

meticu-

lously

simplified

to

save

weight,

reduce

complexity,

mini-

mize

possible

malfunction,

and

greatly

cut

down

the

cost

of

inspection

and

servicing.

For

instance,

the

braking

sys-

tem

provides

both

front

seat

occupants

with

brake

control

yet

uses

only

one

stationary

brake

cylinder

instead

of

four

required

in

conventional

dual

brake

installations.

The

direct

mechanical

linkage

to

operate

flaps

eliminates

usual

prob-

lems

and

continual

servicing

required

with

electric

or

hy-

draulic

systems.

The

Comanche

door

uses

a

simple,

direct,

hand-operated

locking

pin

instead

of

a

complicated

indirect

locking

pin

arrangement.

These

are

just

a

few

examples

of

the

many

steps

taken

to

eliminate

the

possibility

of

mal-

function,

cut

down

the

cost

of

maintenance

repair

and

servicing,

yet,

at

the

same

time,

give

you

an

airplane

at

far

lower

initial

cost.

These

are

real

reasons

why

the

Comanche

is

definitely

less

expensive

to

operate

than

similar

type

airplanes.

Lower

initial

cost

means

lower

fixed

depreciation

and

insurance

rates.

Simplified

systems

mean

lower

maintenance,

inspection

and

servicing

costs.

The

lighter

weight

of

these

systems

means

more

useful

payload.

MASSIVE

ALL-METAL

CONSTRUCTION

-UNQUESTIONABLE

STRENGTH

Well

over

one

thousand

Comanches

have

established

a

perfect

in-flight

record

of

structural

integrity

due

to

two

specific

design

goals

of

Piper's

engineering

department.

One,

knowing

that

high

performance

aircraft

can

quickly

build up

excessive

speed

and

dangerous

flight

loads,

par-

ticular

attention

was

paid

to

longitudinal

stability.

This

has

been

achieved

with

the

Comanche'’s

stabilator

which

auto-

matically

tends

to

bring

the

nose back

toward

flight

as

speed

builds

up.

Two,

the

Comanche's

laminar

wing,

while

be-

ing

exceedingly

clean,

permits

a

very

deep,

massive

spar

which

has

been

static-tested

to

loads

exceeding

six

times

the

gross

weight

of

the

airplane.

Reserve

strength,

far

exceeding

FAA

requirements,

has

been

built

in

the

Comanche

throughout.

LASTING

PROTECTION

An

exclusive

feature

of

the

Comanche

is

the

special

cor-

rosion

treatment

for

all

interior

metal

surfaces.

Aluminum

parts

are

treated

with

zinc

chromate

primer

before

assem-

bly,

assuring

protection

of

surfaces

as

well

as

metal

be-

tween

skin

laps.

This

is a

more

expensive

procedure,

but

is

typical

of

the

extra

quality

evident

throughout

the

Comanche's

construction.

Lycoming

Power—Your

Assurance

of

Dependability

and

Economy

You're

assured

peace

of

mind

when

you

fly

behind

the

Lycoming

engines—180

or

250

horsepower—

offered

in

the

Comanche.

Lycoming—a

name

recognized

as

the

finest

in

business

airplane

power-

plants—gives

you

both

unmatched

dependability

and

exceptional

economy

due

to

Lycoming's

tradi-

tionally

long

operating

periods

between

overhauls.

Between

125,000

and

150,000

miles

of

travel

can

normally

be

expected

in

the

Comanche

before

an

overhaul

is

needed!

For

performance

with

maximum

economy,

the

180

Lycom-

ing

engine

is

your

choice.

Its

simple,

four-cylinder

design

is

the

result

of

over

20

years

of

steady

improvement

and

design

refinement

by

Lycoming.

Installed

in

the

Comanche

with

Dyna-focal

motor

mounts,

it

provides

smooth,

quiet

power.

As

with

all

Lycoming

engines,

it

is

equipped

with

dual

ignition.

the

low-

of

any

in

its

class,

another

reason

for

the

Comanche’s

outstanding
