history
The Cessna 411 emerged from the never built Cessna 410 and was intended as the answer to the Beech Queen Air . The plane had two Continental Motors GTSIO-520-C - piston engines with 254 kW and offered space for one or two pilots, and for five or six passengers. When it was launched, it was the manufacturer's largest business jet. The machine is not pressurized .
The first flight took place on July 18, 1962, the first delivery in October 1964. The FAA approval was granted on August 17, 1964. Customers included the French Air Force. The basic version of the Cessna 411 was replaced in 1967 by the 411A, which had more economical drives and in some cases larger tanks.
In 1965, two cheaper variants were created, the Cessna 401 and 402 . Production of the 411 ended in June 1968 after a total of 301 units had been delivered. The successor was the Cessna 421 equipped with a pressurized cabin .
