Textron adds high-tech enhancements to flagship Cessna models

Textron Aviation has added significant enhancement to the Cessna Skyhawk, Cessna Skylane, Cessna Turbo Skyhawk and Cessna Turbo Stationair HD. The enhancements include new high tech standard features and sleek interior design options including modern and comfortable seating, updated instrument panels and new exterior paint styles.

Commenting on the changes, Christi Tannahill, senior vice president, customer experience said: “When designing the next interior for the iconic aircraft family, it was important that we include feedback from customers and fans. The result is a more modern, sporty feel that aligns with our family of Cessna Citation jets for the best aviation experience.”

Textron has also introduced new power headset jacks and charging ports at every seat (USB A and C device compatibility), upgraded seats with additional support and padding, and a brand-new center armrest.

Textron claims from the sleek black instrument panel to the new side panels, window locks and air vents, the aircraft is designed to make the flying experience even more exciting.

Besides owners can select from a variety of modern standard paint schemes to customize their aircraft and make it their own.

“Cessna pistons inspire the journey of flight,” said Chris Crow, vice president, Textron Aviation Piston Sales. “If you’re a pilot, odds are that you learned how to fly in a Skyhawk. This investment demonstrates Textron Aviation’s continued enthusiasm for our piston aircraft lineup, and we are thrilled to see these aircraft continue to support pilots worldwide in their training ambitions or mapping their next adventure.”
