“For the past year, we have been soliciting feedback from the market on our proof-of-concept aircraft, and the result is an airplane that we believe is the most advanced and innovative in its class,” said Cessna Chairman, President and CEO Jack J. Pelton. “We have had more voice-of-the-customer input into the design of this aircraft than anything we’ve done in the past, and that has led to many design elements that make it easier for pilots and passengers.”
The price is an element attractive to many would-be pilots and owners, as well. At an anticipated price of $109,500, first flight of the prototype Model 162 is set for the first half of 2008, and deliveries are expected to begin in 2009″
