The Cessna 350 & 400, Untie your dreams at 235 knots.

Leave the runway at 1,400 vertical feet per minute. Climb to 25,000 feet. Cruise at 235 confident knots. Nothing releases a pilot's passion for flight like the Cessna 400, the world's fastest fixed- gear aircraft. Yet it's more than mere blistering speed that makes the Cessna 400 such a pleasure to fly. There's the sophisticated, stylish cabin, glass cockpit and side-stick control. Not to mention, the head-turning gorgeous looks.

So fast. And yet so far.

When you fly a 400, you are not only going as fast as a fixed-gear aircraft can take you. You’re also flying much farther – under standard, no wind conditions, fly up to 1250 nm. And with a BiO2™ four-place built-in oxygen system, you and your passengers can enjoy the breathtaking view from above in complete comfort and safety.

Welcome to mission control.

Side-stick controls for precise, single-pivot-point control. A Garmin G1000 glass cockpit for full, leading-edge situational awareness. The Garmin GFC 700 fully integrated flight control system for, well, absolute control. This is the level of awareness and ability to act upon it that you’ve always dreamed of in an aircraft. All standard in the Cessna 400.

When it comes to airframes, it doesn’t get much better than this. E-glass and light, carbon-fiber composite materials allow for greater speed and performance. While actually boosting structural integrity. It all contributes to that sleek yet solid feeling you’ll experience once you climb aboard and taxi for take-off. You’ll also experience the peace of mind that comes along for the ride in such a thoughtfully designed aircraft.

Exterior, this beauty is more than skin deep.

Sure, the Cessna 350 and 400 are two of the best-looking aircraft in the world. But we would argue there's more to life than being really good looking. Take the 400, for instance: it's the fastest fixed-gear single-engine piston aircraft in the air today. And the Cessna 350 is not far behind in terms of speed and performance. Both aircraft are primarily constructed of E-glass and carbon-fiber composite, materials that greatly enhances structural integrity, speed and performance. Our innovative design and manufacturing processes made the 350 and 400 eligible to be FAA-certified to stringent FAR, Part 23 Utility category standards. To pilots, this translates to confidence and peace of mind.

Fast yet forgiving.

The combination of the Cessna 350 and 400’s integral leading-edge wing cuff and elevator features provide docile, predictable low-speed handling characteristics with full aileron authority – even at stall speed. And with the highest wing loading in their class, the Cessna 350 and 400 provide the most stable ride in turbulence.

Make the other runway models jealous.

Like so many supermodels throughout history, the Cessna 350 and 400 have “the look.” That extra-special something. Perhaps it’s the combination of contemporary design and smooth, aerodynamic lines. Or maybe it’s the modern paint styling and luxurious leather cabin. No matter your personal preference, you must admit: this plane’s got style.

"The look" you want

Every exterior surface of the aircraft (fuselage, wings and flight controls) is imbedded with lightning mesh to effectively and safely dissipate the adverse effects of a lightning strike. Additionally, static wicks on the trailing edge of the wings and elevator allow static build-up to be discharged safely without affecting avionics functionality or disrupting other electrical systems.

Safety. More than just a catchphrase.

Our determined efforts to improve the safety of our aircraft are always top-of-mind. Those efforts benefit our customers in a variety of ways, not the least of which are favorable insurance premiums and low cost of ownership. But perhaps the biggest payoff is the confidence and comfort level that you as a Cessna pilot will rightly feel when you take to the skies. Whether it's a hop around the patch with your kids, a weekend away with the family or an instrument flight into complex airspace with your business colleagues, our 80-year legacy of safety is with you all the way.

Precious cargo on board.

From the tip of the spinner to the trailing edge of the rudder, every new Cessna is designed and equipped to deliver on the trust that passengers place in you every single flight. While creature comforts and amenities abound, in a Cessna, the focus on safety is always at the forefront.

Safety by design.

For more than 80 years Cessna has always made safety its top priority. The mission here was to build an aircraft that didn’t just react to trouble, but could avoid it al together. From prop to tail, the design of the Cessna 350 and 400 integrates a profusion of innovative active and passive safety features. This commitment to safety has paved the way to a Utility Category certification. The strength standards for Utility Category certification are about 16% higher than those for Normal Category; it is the FAA's most demanding non-aerobatic certification level.

The high-performance luxury sports car of the sky.

Hand-stitched leather seats and sidewalls, class-leading cabin appointments and innovative, active safety features position the 350 and 400 cabin far above the competition. In fact, spend just a few moments in Cessna's new 350 and 400 and your outlook on single engine cabin comfort will be forever changed. But the unique and modern design of the 350 and 400 cabin is more than simply aesthetically pleasing. Unique side-stick controls simplify yoke control movements and provide and unobstructed view of instruments and controls. Plus proprietary yet comfortable three-point harness seat restraints increase pilot and passenger safety by distributing lower G-loads than typical four-point systems. And you can bring more baggage - heck, even bring the golf clubs - thanks to the ample baggage storage area behind the rear seats. The storage area is lockable and accessible through a rear exterior door. Put it all together and you get the most comfortable and luxurious single engine cabin in the world.

Hand stitched leather seats and fully lined cabin walls bespeak the handcrafted workmanship that goes into each Cessna 400 cabin. All four seats are equipped with a unique three-point harness that imposes lower loads on the body making your flying experience more comfortable.

Power trip.

Teledyne Continental Motors is a leading supplier of powerplants, recognized throughout the industry for manufacturing solid and reliable engines. Perhaps that's why TCM powerplants are used in some of the fastest and most efficient aircraft in the world.

Cessna 400 Engine

Thanks to its TCM TSIO-550-C six-cylinder, fuel-injected, twin turbocharged engine with dual intercoolers, the Cessna 400 boasts a max cruise speed of 235 knots (435 km/hr) and a range of 1,250 nautical miles (2,315 km) at economy cruise speeds. So you'll cruise higher in one of the world's fastest single-pistons in the sky.

Cessna 350 Engine

The Cessna 350 takes full advantage of a safe and redundant TCM IO-550-N six-cylinder, fuel-injected engine with dual independent electrical systems. Producing 310 horsepower, this performer delivers a max cruise speed of 191 knots (354 km/hr) and a 1,395-nautical-mile (2,584 km) range at economy cruise speeds.
