Riley Rocket

Jack Riley kept semi retiring between his aviation ventures, wanting to have only a small business, but was soon back in full force with the Riley Rocket. The Cessna 310 was fitted with under wing exhaust along with airfoil nacelles to house the 290¬hp Lycoming engines. Three blade props (among the first on light twins) were used, and extra fuel tanks extended the range. A one piece windshield and extended cabin area were also part of the conversion.
