Piper PA-31 Navajo, a family of cabin-class, twin-engine aircraft designed and built by Piper Aircraft using Lycoming engines for the general aviation market. In the mid-1960s, an aircraft of this size was sorely needed and founder William T. Piper requested the type be developed. Targeted at small-scale cargo and feeder liner operations and the corporate market, the aircraft was a success. It continues to prove a popular choice, but due to greatly decreased demand across the general aviation sector in the 1980s, production of the PA-31 ceased. Created with FSDS v2.10 by John B. Loney, Jr.

The PA-31 series was produced in a variety of versions (sourced from wiki).

- PA-31-325 Navajo, referred to as the "CR" or Counter Rotating.
- PA-31-350 Navajo Chieftain (originally called the "Navajo II") featured a stretched cabin and more powerful engines (Lycoming TIO-540-J2BD).
- T-1020 was a Chieftain modified to be marketed to the commuter airline market.
- PA-31P Pressurized Navajo (commonly referred to as "P-Navajo") was equipped with a pressurized cabin.
- Piper Mojave was an upgraded, re-engined version of the PA-31P.
- PA-31T Cheyenne, pressurized, turboprop.
- T-1040, PA-31T3, was an airline version of the PA-31T Cheyenne.
About the design:
This aircraft was chosen to see what improvements I was able to make compared to versions 1 and 1.5 which were never released. They were done in my very early stages of learning how to model aircraft for FS9. I can see the improvement, but I think I still have a ways to go for that perfect FS9 aircraft. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one and have fun with it.
Happy landings!
