Cessna CE-411

When flown for the first time on 18 July 1962, the Cessna Model 411 then represented the company’s largest business aircraft. Generally similar in configuration to the Model 310, it differed by having slightly increased wing span and area, a lengthened fuselage, more powerful 254kW Continental GTSIO-520-C flat-six turbocharged engines and accommodation for a crew of two and four to six passengers. Priced at $120,000, the 6-7 place was indicating 240mph optimum cruise at 22,000 ft with a range over 1000 mi with standard fuel, in tests.

Deliveries begin of the Model 411 in 1965, but production of the Model 411 was discontinued in June 1978, after the production of 400 examples, a small number of which were supplied to the French air force.
