Textron<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThe turbocharger adds another level of performance to an\nalready exceptional aircraft,\u201d said Ron Draper, president & CEO, Textron\nAviation. \u201cThe Cessna Skylane is a remarkably instinctive aircraft to operate,\nand the turbocharged engine provides even greater performance that enhances the\noverall flying experience. The Turbo Skylane represents our commitment to\noffering new and innovative solutions to our piston owners and operators, and\nwe\u2019re pleased to bring expanded capabilities to this segment of the market. And\nwith all of the latest attributes, the Turbo Skylane truly is better than\never.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The single-engine Turbo Skylane features the latest Garmin\nG1000 NXi avionics suite, a heated propeller, and an in-cabin oxygen system. It\nis powered by the Lycoming TIO-540 engine and is equipped with a Hartzell\nEngine Technologies (HET) turbocharger, providing the aircraft with 235\nhorsepower at up to 20,000 feet. The additional power is especially beneficial\nfor pilots flying over mountainous regions or for cruising at higher altitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Originally introduced in 2001, production of the Turbo\nSkylane T182T was paused in 2013 while the company focused on the addition of a\nwide range of product developments. The Cessna Skylane, with its normally\naspirated Lycoming engine, has been in production since 1956 with more than\n23,000 delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Skylane has been a great airplane for more than six\ndecades, and especially popular with first-time owners,\u201d said Lannie O\u2019Bannion,\nsenior vice president, Sales & Flight Operations. \u201cThrough our\nconversations with customers, many shared a desire for additional power for\ntheir unique missions. The Turbo Skylane is a perfect solution. The\nturbocharger is easy to operate, and the combination of a proven Lycoming\nengine, a heated McCauley propeller and an in-cabin oxygen system, will make\nthis aircraft a leader in the high-performance, single-engine segment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
