The aircraft performed badly and it was redesigned with a single vertical stabilizer and an all-metal rear fuselage and more powerful 150 hp [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]-A engines.
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] Two new prototype of re-designed aircraft now named Apache were built in 1953[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and entered production in [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]; 1,231 were built.
In [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], the Apache 160 was produced by upgrading the engines to 160 hp (119 kW), and 816 were built before being superseded by the Apache 235, which went to 235 hp (175 kW) engines and swept tail surfaces (119 built).

In 1961 a longer nosed variant the Aztec B entered production.
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] The later models of the Aztec were equipped with IO-540 fuel-injected engines and six-seat capacity, and continued in production until [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
There were also turbocharged versions of the later models, which were able to fly at higher altitudes.

Re: Piper PA-23
In 1974, Piper produced a single experimental PA-41P Pressurized Aztec concept.
This concept was short-lived, however, as the aspects of the Aztec that made it so popular for its spacious interior and ability to haul large loads did not lend themselves well to supporting the sealed pressure vessel required for a pressurized aircraft.
