The Partenavia P-68TP-600 Viator was built as a pressurized twin-engine turboprop for Privat/Charter market operations.
The A-Viator also is very suitable for advanced airborne surveillance and aerial work missions. It has been developed from the smaller P68 series and has a stretched up fuselage to allow more space on board and the former piston engines were replaced by two turbine powerplants.
The retractable landing gear improved the speed characteristics.
