Cessna 414 (turbine)
The turbine Cessna 414 is a rare conversion of a pressurised piston twin into a turboprop-powered business aircraft. The original Chancellor was valued for cabin comfort and high-altitude capability, while conversion programmes aimed to add turbine reliability and stronger climb performance. Such aircraft were built in small numbers and differ according to the conversion package installed. A turbine 414 therefore represents an unusual bridge between classic piston twins and modern executive turboprops.
Did you know?
A turbine-converted 414 keeps the pressurised piston twin's familiar shape but trades its piston engines for turboprop nacelles and different propellers.
