The Piaggio P.136 was an Italian twin-engine amphibian flying-boat, with an all-metal hull, pusher propellers, a gull wing, and retractable landing gear. The prototype first flew in late 1948, and completed certification tests in spring 1949. The Italian air force contracted 14 P.136s for coastal patrol and air-sea rescue. The aircraft was marketed in the United States as the Royal Gull, by Kearney and Trecker. Trecker received three aircraft, and components for another 29, but they also built a few on their own, under license. ==Variants== ;P.136F :Variant with Franklin engines mainly produced for the Italian Air Force, 18 built. ;P.136L :Variant with Lycoming GO-435 engines, two built and one P.136F converted. ;P.136L-1 :Five-seat amphibian flying-boat, powered by two 201-kW (270-hp) Avco Lycoming GO-480-B engine, 18 built. ;P.136L-2 :Five-seat amphibian flying-boat, powered by two 254-kW (340-hp) Avco Lycoming GSO-480 piston engines, 24-assembled in the United States from Italian supplied kits. ;Royal Gull :Both the P.136-L1 and P.136-L2 were marketed in the USA by the Kearney and Trecker Corporation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Piaggio P.136」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
