Textron Aviation last week told audiences at the European Aviation Business Convention and Exhibition in Geneva that the prototype for Cessna’s Denali single-engine turboprop is nearing completion, as are the first two flight and ground test aircraft. The prototype and the first two production conforming aircraft will be used in the flight test program set to begin later this year, while the three ground test articles will be used for the company’s airframe static and fatigue tests, and for cabin interior development and testing.
