Design and development
Ted Smith-built Aerostar 601 in 1971 After having designed the Aero Commander and Jet Commander , Ted R. Smith founded the Ted Smith Aircraft Company in 1963 to build a new line of aircraft. [1] The first Aerostar prototype, the Model 320, was built with two 160 hp (120 kW) Lycoming IO-320 engines and first flew in November 1966. The same aircraft was upgraded with a pair of 180 hp (130 kW) Lycoming IO-360 engines and a more streamlined vertical fin and renamed the Model 360; it was subsequently upgraded again with 200 hp (150 kW) IO-360s and renamed again as the Model 400. The aircraft finally entered production as the Aerostar 600 with two 290 hp (220 kW) Lycoming IO-540 -K engines, first flown in December 1967. Also produced, and the base of most of the subsequent models, was a version with turbocharged engines, the Aerostar 601 Variants

There’s a lot to like about a Piper/Smith Aerostar. As piston twins go, the airplane has decent ramp appeal and passengers generally don’t complain about its cabin dwelling. Fly one and you’ll see why it has a rep for being blazingly fast, while demanding a healthy amount of pilot proficiency.
