Cessna 441
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cessna 441 Conquest II was the first turboprop designed by Cessna and was meant to fill the gap between their jets and piston-engined aircraft. It was developed in November 1974, with the first aircraft delivered in September 1977. It is a pressurized, turbine development of the Cessna 404.
The Conquest is powered by two Garrett TPE331 turboprops powering two four-bladed McCauley propellers. A 441 with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-112 turboprops was flown in 1986 but did not enter production. The aircraft has retractable tricycle landing gear and on takeoff has a ground roll of 1,785 ft (544 m).
The ICAO designator for the Cessna Conquest as used in flight plans is C441.
A smaller aircraft was marketed as the Cessna 425 Conquest I, itself a turbine development of the Cessna 421.
