__NOTOC__
The
Cessna 205,
206, and
207, known variously as the
Skywagon,
Super Skywagon, and
Stationair is a development of the popular Cessna line of high-wing, single-engine piston aircraft used for general aviation. It can carry one pilot and up to five passengers, though the very rear seats are small. It was developed as a cheaper, fixed-gear alternative to the
Cessna 210 Centurion, then the most expensive single-engine piston aircraft Cessna manufactured. Its powerful engine (currently a Lycoming IO-540, but models have been produced with a Continental IO-520), rugged construction and large cabin has made it a popular bush-plane. Cessna describes it as "the sport-utility vehicle of the air." The 205 is also used for aerial photography, skydiving and other utility purposes. It can also be equipped with floats, as with most Cessna single-engine products. Alternatively, it can be fitted with luxury appointments for use as a personal air transport. The aircraft remains in production
as of 2006.
Soloy Aviation Solutions offers a turboprop conversion for all 205/206/207 models.*
The Cessna 205, 206 and 207 family of aircraft along with the other Cessna single and twin-engined aircraft are supported by an active aircraft type club, The Cessna Pilots Association.
