Cessna P210 Pressurized Centurion
The Cessna P210 Centurion combined a pressurised cabin with a single turbocharged piston engine, giving private pilots airliner-like comfort at high altitude. It was the most sophisticated member of the Centurion family and could fly above much of the weather. Its complex systems kept production lower than simpler Cessna singles.
