The PA-60-700P (AEROSTAR 700P) is a high-performance, pressurized twin-engine aircraft, representing the pinnacle of the Aerostar line. The Aerostar series was the vision of renowned aircraft designer Ted Smith, who aimed to create one of the fastest piston-powered business aircraft in its class. Smith founded Ted Smith Aircraft Company in the 1960s, beginning the production run of the original Aerostar models. After a series of ownership changes, including taking the company private as Ted Smith Aerostar, the design continued to evolve, culminating in high-performance models like the 700P. The aircraft remains a favorite among pilots for its speed and sleek design.
