  Beechcraft Duchess 76 - Aircraft History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Beechcraft 76 Duchess was a twin-engine development of the Beechcraft Musketeer, and was designed as an economical twin-engine trainer to compete with the successful Piper Seminole.
The Duchess was equipped with the same 180-hp Lycoming engines as the Seminole.
Due to the relatively weak-powered engines, and the rather heavy construction of the Duchess, many student pilots complain that the aircraft is greatly under-powered, especially for engine-out training.
