About the 320
The Cessna 320 is a fixed-wing, twin-engine piston aircraft designed in the United States. Built as a pressurized cabin cruiser seating several occupants, it suits executive travel and personal transport by offering enhanced comfort at higher altitudes compared to non-pressurized twins.
Developed as a heavier, turbocharged evolution of an earlier Cessna twin, the aircraft introduced features such as supercharged engines and canted wingtip tanks. Over its production lifespan, successive variants incorporated stretched cabins, extended baggage nacelles, and improved electrical systems before manufacturing concluded.
