The Reims-Cessna 406 Caravan II, Light 12 passenger cargo aircraft. XAV 1254-301
Cessna Model 404 Titan II is a twin engined, propeller driven light aircraft that first flew in 1977. Its military designation is C-28. A ten-seater (including the pilot and second officer), the Titan was Cessna's largest twin piston-engined aircraft at the time of its development. The base model was sold as the Titan Ambassador, and was equipped to be used as a small commuter aircraft, seating eight passengers. Also available was the Titan Courier, which was designed to be used in either passenger or freight operations, as the seats were easily removed and the floor strengthened. The Titan Freighter was the pure cargo variant of the Titan series, and was fitted with a strengthened floor, cargo doors, and its walls and ceiling were made from impact-resistant materials to minimize damage in the event of cargo breaking free in-flight. The Cessna Titan was equipped with two Continental Motors GTSIO-520 turbocharged, fuel-injected engines, each rated at 375 Horsepower. The GTSIO-520 is very similar to the well known TSIO-520, but instead of the prop being connected to the engine via the crankshaft itself, it is connected to a reduction gearbox, which is then connected to the engine. The gearbox housing is the shaft that emerges from the top of the cowling. These six-piston engines each drove a three-blade McCauley propeller. Cessna started manufacturing the production version of the Model 404 in 1976, and production ceased in 1982. During this time, a total of 378 aircraft were produced. The Cessna Titan, originally called the Model 404, flew for the first time in 1975. It was designed for the civil market and is capable to operate from small airfields. It is much used as a feederliner and as a business aircraft. It can also be used as a transport aircraft. A Cessna Titan was leased by the Air Force from Swedair in 1982. This aircraft was operated by the Air Force for transport duties. It got the designation TP 87 and the Air Force number 87001. In the eightie
