Fabrication of the nose section, fuselage, wings, and tailcone of the first three flying prototypes of the new Cessna Denali 12-seat turboprop single is now under way in Wichita, Textron Aviation (Booth V19, SD14) announced on Monday at EBACE 2018. The Denali program was launched at EAA AirVenture in 2015, and Cessna is working toward first flight early next year. It had initially targeted first flight in the third-quarter 2018 and certification in 2019.
