About the Piper Seneca

The Piper Seneca (PA-34) is a six-seat piston twin with counter-rotating propellers — a clever design that eliminates the "critical engine" and makes twin handling much more forgiving than a conventional twin. Powered by twin turbocharged Continental TSIO-360 engines, the Seneca cruises around 190 knots and is one of the most accessible cabin-class twins. Production spans the Seneca I (1971) through the current Seneca V, with intercooler and avionics improvements at each step.

Produced 1972. Total produced: 4,700.
