About the 421 (turbine)
The Cessna 421 (turbine) is an American twin-engine, low-wing fixed-wing transport aircraft. Featuring a pressurized cabin and retractable tricycle landing gear, the aircraft typically seats six to ten occupants and suits executive or light transport duties.
Developed as a pressurized evolution of an earlier company design, the aircraft first took to the air in May 1967. Early versions featured wingtip fuel tanks, while later production years introduced fuselage stretches, increased weights, a longer nose, and wet wings. Thousands of deliveries were completed before manufacturing concluded, and some airframes have since undergone modifications to accept turboprop engines.
The 421 (turbine) is a variant of the Cessna 421 Golden Eagle.
