Textron Aviation is no longer selling the Cessna TTx, bringing to an apparent close production of the sleek high-performance piston single that originally drew its inspiration from a kitplane and grew into a fully Part 23 certified model that for a time was considered one of the best light airplanes in the world.
Textron Aviation Ends Cessna TTx Production
Key Takeaways:
- Textron Aviation has ceased production and sales of the Cessna TTx, a high-performance piston single that originated from a kitplane design and was once considered among the best light airplanes.
- The TTx began as the Columbia 300, acquired by Cessna in 2007, and underwent several name changes and production site relocations throughout its history.
- Despite being a competitor to the best-selling Cirrus SR22 and receiving performance improvements, the TTx never achieved strong sales, partly due to initial defects with composite parts after production moved from Bend, Oregon.
