Piper Aircraft deliveries rose 20 percent in 2024 compared with the previous year, with 291 aircraft, the manufacturer said Thursday.

The increase, according to the company, was in part tied to the success of the M700 Fury, the company's 300-knot turboprop that debuted in March.

According to Piper officials, 46 of the new high-performance designs were delivered last year.

The manufacturer delivered 217 aircraft in the U.S., which was up 7 percent over the previous year. International deliveries rose 76 percent over the same period, with 74 aircraft delivered.

“Our continued growth, both domestically and internationally, is a testament to the strength of our product lineup and the trust our customers place in Piper," said John Calcagno, president and CEO of Piper Aircraft. "The increase in international deliveries highlights Piper’s expanding global footprint and the growing appeal of our aircraft worldwide.”
