Cessna 400 Corvalis TT
The Columbia 400 is a turbocharged high-performance development of the Columbia 350, later marketed as the Cessna 400 Corvalis TT. Its composite airframe and powerful engine give it cruise speeds unusual for a fixed-gear piston single. The type appeals to owners who want near-turboprop pace without turbine costs.
