Piston airplanes have one or more piston-powered engines connected to the propeller, which allow the aircraft to fly up to 6 passengers at altitudes below 15,000 feet. Popular for short-range flights ranging from 300 to 400 miles, piston airplanes have access to runways that are often remote or too short for larger jet aircraft. Practical and reliable, these aircraft are a solid choice among short-range flights.
