About the P68C

The Vulcanair P68C is a type-certificated, fixed-wing light aircraft built in Italy. Designed for light transport and training roles, this twin-engine, high-wing monoplane accommodates a crew of one and suits operators needing multi-engine utility.

Created by designer Luigi Pascale through Partenavia, the aircraft made its first flight on May 25, 1970, and earned its type certification the following year before the type certificate was eventually transferred to Vulcanair. Notable derivatives of the original six-seat design include an observation variant and a stretched twin turboprop version.

{# the label links to these aircraft for sale, built in that span. On the label and not the count: the bands count every aircraft on the market (on_market) while the grid shows only those with a photo (live), so the count is not a promise of how many cards appear. A band cached before year_min existed renders as plain text rather than a link to an unfiltered list. #}
