About the PA-60-602P

The Piper PA-60-602P is an American fixed-wing aircraft featuring twin piston engines and accommodating up to six seats. Built as a type-certificated utility transport, it suits operators looking for a high-performance twin-engine layout with pressurized cabin capabilities for personal or business travel.

Originally conceived by Ted R. Smith, the design underwent several evolutionary steps and company changes before acquisition by the Piper Aircraft Corporation. Over its production history, various models introduced significant refinements such as turbocharging upgrades and increased wingspans to boost climb performance and high-altitude convenience, while retaining the basic designation framework established by its original creator.
