Piper PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow
The Piper PA-28R Turbo Arrow is a retractable-gear, turbocharged version of the long-running Piper Cherokee/Arrow family, built for pilots wanting better high-altitude performance than the naturally aspirated Arrow could offer. Its turbocharger keeps engine power from dropping off as quickly as altitude increases, letting it cruise higher and faster over mountainous terrain or in thin air. It remains part of one of the longest continuously evolving light aircraft families ever built, tracing back to the original 1960s Cherokee. Many remain in active personal and flight-training use today.
