Something extra

Cessna’s reputation in the single-engined aircraft market is as revered as it is established. For generations, Cessna aircraft have formed the backbone of many commercial fleets and catered equally to the private owner. In the general aviation skies, Cessna ‘singles’ were easily identifiable by their trademark high-wing and yet, in this new millennium, it has welcomed a new steed into its fold. And the Cessna TTx is anything but trademark.

The TTX’s heritage harks back further than its sleek aerodynamic lines may suggest. It was born of NASA’s Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiment (AGATE) in the US during the 1990s. General aviation had continually declined over the preceding decade and was even further burdened by a sea of liability claims brought against manufacturers. As a consequence, the industry faltered in the face of regulatory constraints and a subsequent lack of innovation. AGATE was an attempt to stimulate growth, advance new technologies and improve the framework in which general aviation operated.

The aircraft was the fastest fixed-gear single in the world at the time.
