Cessna 310 & 320 history, performance and specifications
The
Cessna 310 & 320
The 310 was
Cessna's first post-WW2 twin-engined
production aircraft, deliveries commencing
late in 1954. Apart from its sleek lines,
the 310 uniquely carried its fuel in wingtip
tanks.
The 310C of 1959 was the first major
upgrade, being fitted with more powerful 260
hp engines. The swept fin was introduced in
the 310D of 1960, and an extra cabin window
was added in the 310F.
The 310Q, and the 320 Skynight, were
turbocharged developments, the 320 being
produced between 1961 and 1969 until
replaced by the Turbo 310.
The final variant, the 310R, was
identifiable by its lengthened nose.
Production ended in 1980. A
total 310 and 320 production was 6013
aircraft, of which 575 were 320s and 196
were for the US military.
