The prototype for the subsequent development of the light-engine aircraft Piper PA-34 Seneca, served as a model Piper PA-32But the design of the aircraft was thoroughly revised (both externally and technically), and with the start of production almost did not look like her.

Initially, before launching into mass production, Piper Aircraft engineers created several prototypes, while the aircraft had three piston engines, which allowed it to accelerate to high speeds, and, the engines themselves were easy to maintain, so the operation of this model was not expensive for future owners. Nevertheless, for a number of technical reasons, the final version of the aircraft became twin-engine, but safer in use - the aircraft fuselage received a more streamlined shape, and was also reinforced with additional struts.

The Piper PA-34 Seneca can accommodate up to 6 passengers (depending on the configuration and modification of the aircraft). Initially, it was supposed to focus this aircraft on commercial use, but the dynamically developing aircraft market did not accept this model, which, in other words, did not prevent the aircraft from enjoying great popularity in the field of business air transportation and private ownership.

Since 1975, under a special license, the Piper PA-34-200T aircraft began to be produced in Brazil - the new modification was named Embraer EMB-810 Seneca, however, the aircraft did not acquire any significant changes.

Modification of the Piper PA-34-220T Seneca III was introduced in the year 1980, in doing so, aircraft manufacturers have come to a consensus to abandon the use of engines Lycoming and move on plane engines Continental TSIO-360-KB capacity 220 hp (with optional turbo). Aircraft could accelerate to higher speeds and carry more payload.

In 1994 year was a model Piper PA-34-220T Seneca IV, received only some very minor technical improvements, slightly increased airspeed and increased maximum takeoff weight.

Version Piper PA-34-220T Seneca V was introduced in 1996 year, with the exception of using the new engine Continental TSIO-360-RB, new avionics systems and updated interior, any changes to the aircraft did not undergo.

In addition to the civil sphere, small-engine aircraft Piper PA-24 Seneca actively used, and air forces, the advantage for the transport of persons, as well as for sightseeing flights.
