Cessna Model 210 Centurion (1:28)

Span: 18.25"
Length: 14"

The Model 210 Centurion was Cessna's then top-of-the-line six-seat high performance aircraft which was first flown in January 1957. The Model 210 was the first high-wing plane to be fitted with a retractable tricycle landing gear. The first production aircraft flew in December 1959 powered by a 194kW Continental IO-470-E engine, and since that time progressive improvements were made each year.The 210 is preferred by many operators because it has the speed and carrying capacity of many twin-engined aircraft with the economy of only one engine

The largest known fleet of 210s (59 aircraft) is operated by Flight Express of Orlando, Florida. Outside the U.S., a fleet of 7 Cessna 210s is operated in Windhoek, Namibia by an air charter operator. Also, scenic flight operator Slingair in Kununurra, Western Australia operates no less than 10 C210's.

Cessna re-introduced three single engine models in the 1990s that had been out of production since 1986 - the Cessna 172, 182 and 206. The 210 was not reintroduced at that time as it was company policy that all re-introduced aircraft would be recertified to the latest FAR Part 23 standards instead of the original CAR-3 standards. Due to its single spar wing structure, the 210 could not meet the current certification standards. This left a gap in the Cessna line for a high-performance single engine aircraft that was quickly filled by competitors such as the Cirrus SR22 and Columbia 400. In 2006 Cessna announced that they will produce a new aircraft, known while under development as the Cessna NGP. This new aircraft will fill the gap left in the Cessna line when the 210 went out of production in 1986.
