Cessna 188 AGTruck ↗Research-based aircraft background

Cessna 188 AGTruck

The 188 family is quite different from the high-wing touring singles usually associated with Cessna. A low wing and working-load hopper serve its agricultural purpose, while the pilot sits high behind the engine and load area. Production ran from the 1960s into the early 1980s.

Agwagon, Agtruck and related names identify developments within the family. The Agtruck entry in this catalogue is therefore best understood as a specialist working aircraft, with its mission equipment as important to its identity as the flight instruments.

Cessna 195 Businessliner ↗Research-based aircraft background

Cessna 195 Businessliner

The Cessna 190 and 195 were developed as enclosed-cabin general aviation aircraft after the Second World War. Their radial engines and rounded cowlings set them apart from the later flat-engine Cessna singles. The high wing and conventional landing gear complete a distinctly period outline.

The Businessliner name reflects the intended role as practical personal and company transport. Its combination of a substantial cabin and a single radial engine places it between the smaller club aeroplanes and the twin-engine executive transports of the same era.

Cessna 206 Stationair ↗Research-based aircraft background

Cessna 206 Stationair

The 205, 206 and 207 family developed from Cessna's retractable-gear 210. Fixed landing gear and a utility role distinguish these aircraft from that ancestor. They have been used for commercial transport and private flying. This page centres on the 206, while each source identifies the particular Stationair version behind its figures.

Cessna 207T ↗Research-based aircraft background

Cessna 207T

The 205, 206 and 207 developed into a family of fixed-gear Cessna utility singles. They trace their origins to the retractable-gear 210 but evolved around commercial passenger and freight work. The high wing and substantial cabin suit loading and practical transport.

The 207 is a stretched member of this family, and the T207 adds turbocharging. It should not inherit seating or performance figures from a shorter 206. The simulator's 207T listing is kept explicit here even though the background reference covers the broader Stationair lineage.

Cessna 210 Centurion ↗Research-based aircraft background

Cessna 210 Centurion

The 210 first flew in January 1957 and remained in production until 1986. Its high wing and retractable landing gear combine the familiar Cessna cabin arrangement with a different performance and equipment class from the basic trainers. The family evolved over that production run, so the named variant matters when reading capacity and performance figures.

Cessna 337 Skymaster ↗Research-based aircraft background

Cessna 337 Skymaster

The Skymaster places its engines on the aircraft centreline, with the rear propeller between twin tail booms. That layout makes it immediately recognizable beside conventional twins with wing-mounted engines. The military O-2 developed from the 337. This page keeps the civil Skymaster identity while retaining the scope of photographed and documented variants.

Cessna 404 Titan ↗Research-based aircraft background

Cessna 404 Titan

The Titan sits at the larger end of Cessna's piston-twin range. Its low wing carries two engines, while a substantial cabin supports passenger and freight configurations. It was developed during the 1970s and also appeared in military service under different designations.

The 404 offers a different reference point from both a small private twin and a pressurised business turboprop. Its cargo-oriented proportions and working-aircraft role are central to understanding the type, with the simulator developer's package establishing the actual cabin and cockpit configuration.
