The Partenavia P-68B is a six -seater light, twin piston powered, fixed tricycle landing gear aircraft designed and built in Italy. It made its first flight on 25 May 1970, and it is mainly used for light transport and training. The Lycoming IO-360 engines produces 200 HP each and allows the P68B to reach 160 kts cruise speed with the climb rate of 1160 foot/minute. Its design emphasis was placed on simplicity of construction, ease of maintenance and operation, with the capability to operate from short and rough fields in the role of air-taxi, light utility transport, and ambulance. The P-68 was a high-wing monoplane with the wing being a single-spar torsion-box structure of aluminium alloy, with a fibreglass leading-edge. Fuel capacity is 269 litres (59.2 Imp gals) in tanks in the wings that gives the P68B 700 nm (approx. 1300 km) range. The cabin of the Partenavia P68 was relatively compact and well equipped for leisure or work. It was designed to meet the essential individual needs of private aviation customers.

The P.68B Victor is a twin-engine, high-wing cantilever utility monoplane initially produced by Partenavia and then by Vulcanair, both of Italy. The aircraft, which seats a total of six including pilot, took its maiden flight on May 25, 1970 and was introduced in 1974.

The aircraft is built primarily of aluminum, with some composite components. It has a sleek, modern design that features a straight main wing, a rectangular horizontal stabilizer, a swept vertical stabilizer, and a fixed tricycle undercarriage. It offers pilots exceptional visibility from the cockpit, has great short-field performance, and has proven exceptionally reliable throughout a range of applications. The aircraft has performed a variety of missions including transport, business, cargo, law enforcement, and military.

The P.68B measures 30 feet, 8 inches in length, stands 12 feet, 3 inches tall, and has a wingspan of 39 feet, 4 inches. It is powered by two wing-mounted Lycoming IO-360 piston engines that each produces 200 horsepower and turns a 2-blade, constant-speed propeller. The Victor has a range of 1,270 miles, a service ceiling of 18,000 feet above sea level, and climbs at 1,100 feet per minute. It cruises at 187 miles per hour and has a stall speed of 66 mph.
