Hands On: TTx Is Cessna’s Speediest Single
The Cessna TTx is a capable flying machine, with long range and swift cruising–all without retracting the landing gear.

The speedy Cessna TTx has been in production for about two years, and since Cessna (now Textron Aviation) purchased the former Columbia Aircraft in 2007, the company has delivered 80 of the various versions of the low-wing, composite, single-engine, piston-powered airplane (Cessna 350/400 and TTx). The TTx was certified in 2013 under a new type certificate and is the only version now available. Retail price is $679,000, which includes everything but optional TKS fluid-based flight into known icing (FIKI), Sirius XM weather and Stormscope.
