FS2004 Piper PA-23. The Piper PA-23, named Apache and later Aztec, was the first twin-engine aircraft built by Piper Aircraft. Originally to be named the "Twin-Stinson" and designed as a four-seater low-wing all-metal monoplane with a twin tail, the prototype first flew 2 March 1952. Declining sales of the Apache prompted the redesign dubbed PA-23-250 Aztec, with 250 hp, 186 kW, Lycoming. The first models where delivered with O-540 Lycoming carburetor engines. These first models came in a five-seat configuration which became available in 1959. The later models of the Aztec where equipped with IO-540 fuel-injected engines and six-seat capacity, and continued in production until 1982. There were also turbocharged versions of the later models, which were able to fly at higher altitudes. Created with FSDS2.10.
