Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.

Today’s Top Pick is a 2020 Pipistrel Panthera.

Pipistrel’s fast Panthera retractable has been sparking conversation among pilots for several years because of its sleek futuristic appearance, aerodynamic efficiency, 1,100 nm range, and cruise speed of nearly 200 ktas. The four-seat aircraft operates under experimental rules, though Textron, which acquired Pipistrel in 2022, has said the aircraft is on course for certification later this year.

This 2020 Pipistrel Panthera has 70 hours on the airframe and its 260 hp Lycoming IO-540 engine since new. The panel features Garmin G3X avionics with dual 10-inch displays for PFD and MFD and synthetic vision, GTN 750 Xi GPS/Nav/Com, GTN 650 Xi GPS/Nav/Com, GMA 35 audio panel, GTX 345R transponder with ADS-B In and Out, Artex ELT 345 and Mid-Continent Instruments backup airspeed, altimeter, and artificial horizon.

Pilots interested in cutting-edge design, long-distance travel, speed, and fuel efficiency should consider this 2020 Pipistrel Panthera, which is available for $760,000 on AircraftForSale.

You can arrange financing of the aircraft through FLYING Finance. For more information, email info@flyingfinance.com.
