Clean-Sheet Commuter Twin Proceeding to Market
Cessna's Utilitarian twin turboprop has gotten closer to open release after receiving type certification from the FAA. The new, clean-sheet design stands out from the rest of the Cessna portfolio, a notably fresh addition to a roster of planes that all too often date back decades. The SkyCourier, a little late following the global delays incurred during the disruptions of 2020 and beyond, is now proceeding along on its way to production and delivery. Cessna calls it a "load-leading, cost-crushing, revenue-generating, business tool," an aircraft with a payload capacity of 6,000 pounds, and a single-pilot flight deck.
