Piper Seneca PA-34-200
The Seneca was developed as a twin-engine version of the Piper Cherokee Six. The prototype was a Cherokee Six that had wing-mounted engines installed, retaining its nose engine. The prototype was flown as a tri-motor aircraft in the initial stages of the test-flying program.
Certified on 7 May 1971 and introduced in late 1971 as a 1972 model, the
PA-34-200 Seneca I, is powered by pair of Lycoming IO-360-C1E6 engines.
The righthand engine is a Lycoming LIO-360-C1E6 engine variant, the "L"
in its designation indicating that the crankshaft turns in the opposite
direction, giving the Seneca I counter-rotating engines. The
counter-rotating engines eliminate the critical engine limitations of
other light twins and make the aircraft more controllable in the event
of a shut down or failure of either engine.
The early Seneca Is have a maximum gross weight of 4000 lbs (1814 kg),
while later serial numbers allowed a take-off weight of 4200 lbs (1905
kg).
