About the Piper PA-30 Turbo Twin Comanche/Turbo Twin Comanche

The Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche, introduced in 1963, was Piper's answer to the light twin market — a sleek, counter-rotating twin-engine design that eliminated the critical-engine asymmetry plaguing most light twins of the era. Built until 1972 when the Lock Haven factory flooded, the Twin Comanche became one of the most capable piston twins in its class, offering 160-knot cruise speeds and genuine single-engine safety margins that made it a favorite among serious owner-pilots and small charter operators. Its counter-rotating Lycoming engines (IO-320 or turbocharged IO-320 in later models) meant no "critical engine" — a rare feature that simplified emergency procedures and improved handling on one engine.

The type earned a reputation for efficiency and speed, often outpacing contemporaries like the Cessna 310 in fuel economy while delivering comparable performance. With a service ceiling around 18,000 feet and a range exceeding 1,000 nautical miles, the Twin Comanche carved out a niche as the thinking pilot's twin — less forgiving than a single but far more capable, and engineered with an elegance that reflected Piper's peak years of light-aircraft innovation.
