About the T303 Crusader

The Textron Aviation T303 is an American twin-engine, fixed-wing light aircraft built for general aviation. Suited for private operators, air taxi services, and executive travel, it features an all-metal low-wing configuration with a retractable tricycle undercarriage and a cabin designed to seat multiple occupants.

Originally conceived and flown as a four-seat variant under a different name, the aircraft was later redesigned into a larger six-seat model and renamed due to trademark concerns. As the first all-new production twin built by the manufacturer in a significant span of time, its production run concluded after a limited number of airframes were constructed. Surviving examples have seen continued operation in various international regions for private and commercial tasks.
