The Piper PA-23, named Apache and later Aztec, is a
four-to-six-seat twin-engine light aircraft aimed at the general
aviation market. The United States Navy and military forces in other
countries also used it in small numbers. The PA-23 was the first twin-engine Piper
aircraft, and was developed from a proposed "Twin Stinson" design,
inherited when Piper bought the Stinson Division of the Consolidated
Vultee Aircraft Corporation. The prototype PA-23 was a four-seat
low-wing all-metal monoplane with a twin tail, powered by two 125 hp
Lycoming O-290-D piston engines; it first flew on 2 March 1952. The
aircraft performed badly and it was redesigned with a single vertical
stabilizer and an all-metal rear fuselage and more powerful 150 hp
Lycoming O-320-A engines. The same year, Piper produced an upgraded
version with 250 hp (186 kW) Lycoming O-540 engines and a swept vertical
tail as the PA-23-250, and named it Aztec. [Wikipedia]
