425 Conquest I

About the 425 Conquest I

The Cessna 425 Conquest I is an American fixed-wing twin-turboprop light aircraft configured with a pressurized cabin and seating for up to eight occupants. It suits corporate and private operators looking for efficient cross-country travel through its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada powerplants and retractable tricycle landing gear.

Developed as a competitor in the business aviation market, the aircraft was derived from an earlier piston-powered model and offered increased cabin utility and performance. Customer demand for higher gross weight limits led to factory modifications that evolved the initial Corsair into the Conquest I standard. Production ran through the mid-1980s until economic conditions across the general aviation sector forced its termination.
