Cessna Model 404 Titan / C-28

One commercial Model 404 Titan was ordered for use by US Navy as a personnel transport. In July 1975 Cessna announced it was developing a new piston twin suitable for airline, freight and corporate work, capable of taking off with a 1560kg, 3500lb, payload from a 770m, 2530ft, strip, similar in concept to the successful 402, but larger overall. The resulting aircraft was the Model 404 Titan, Cessna's largest piston engined twin developed thus far. It shares the same basic fuselage as the turbine powered 441 Conquest which was developed concurrently, but differs in having geared 280kW, 375hp, piston engines and it is unpressurised.
