Hi,
The Aurora is a home builders derivative of the Piagio Avanti P-180. The three flying surface arrangement provides numerous advantages, some aerodynamic and some ergonomic, but also represents a technological elegance not duplicated until now. Aurora's overall size is very similar to the Aerostar 601, but the cabin interior is lengthened and widen slightly to provide Baron class 6-place seating. The emerging Aero-Deisel engine designs were selected for the baseline design as a reliable and low cost horsepower / dollar powerplant that ultimately inspired the overall Aurora configuration. Automotive, turbine and fan jet engines are also viable possibilities. Future extensions of the design include pressurization possibly in the experimental version.
