Although the fuselage shape is complex, the Avanti is mostly aluminum with the nose, tailcone, and leading edges of the main wing being composites.
The Avanti is powered by a pair of 850SHP flat rated PT6 engines that spin five bladed, reversible pitch propellers, which provide a lot of its stopping force as the aircraft lacks spoilers and anti-skid braking.
Taxiing the Avanti is interesting since FSD has captured the touchy steering of the Avanti very well, so careful inputs are needed to avoid lurching across the taxiway like a drunk, The Avanti also rolls a but in tight turns due to its suspension setup.

Piaggio America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Genoa, Italy-based Piaggio Aero Industries, S.p.A., is basing its U.S. headquarters in Greenville, S.C., where it will provide assembly, sales and marketing, customer service and product support for the Piaggio Avanti aircraft in north America.

 Aerodynamic engineering - Three-Lifting Surface
My interpretation of the Piaggio design is that it is a clever way of achieving a cabin area free from the spar carry-thru, without resorting to putting the same on the outside of the fuselage cross section.
Since both the fore and aft planes on the Avanti have flaps, it follows that during landing and takeoff, the lift from both is enhanced and this mutual enhancement should be such that the centre of lift remains constant.
The Avanti props, on the other hand, will produce compression waves which strike the fuselage at the narrowest point as far as elevation area is concerned, that is, just before the swept back vertical stabilizer.
