In addition to the functions you’ll likely use most often with the optional XM Weather program – textual and graphical METARS, TAFs, NEXRAD radar, and graphical winds aloft – you also get lightning, cloud tops, freezing levels, and TFRs, as well as many other textual and graphical weather products. All this valuable information is automatically sent to your aircraft via the XM Satellite System and updated continuously to provide you with a near real-time picture of conditions you’ll encounter – or avoid – during your flight. Want even a little more reassurance? Range rings estimating your range with reserves and maximum range based on current fuel flow and wind conditions are readily available.
Power trip.
Teledyne Continental Motors is a leading supplier of powerplants, recognized throughout the industry for manufacturing solid and reliable engines. Perhaps thats why TCM powerplants are used in some of the fastest and most efficient aircraft in the world.
Thanks to its TCM TSIO-550-C six-cylinder, fuel-injected, twin turbocharged engine with dual intercoolers, the Corvalis TT boasts a max cruise speed of 235 knots (435 km/h) and a range of 1,250 nautical miles (2,315 km) at economy cruise speeds. So youll cruise higher in one of the worlds fastest single-pistons in the sky.
Safety. More than just a catchphrase.
Our determined efforts to improve the safety of our aircraft are always top-of-mind. Those efforts benefit our customers in a variety of ways, not the least of which are favorable insurance premiums and low cost of ownership. But perhaps the biggest payoff is the confidence and comfort level that you as a Cessna pilot will rightly feel when you take to the skies. Whether its a hop around the patch with your kids, a weekend away with the family, or an instrument flight into complex airspace with your business colleagues, our 80-plus year legacy of safety is with you all the way.
Precious cargo on board.
From the tip of the spinner to the trailing edge of the rudder, every new Cessna is designed and equipped to deliver on the trust that passengers place in you every single flight. While creature comforts and amenities abound, in a Cessna, the focus on safety is always at the forefront.
Play it safe.
Every exterior surface of the aircraft (fuselage, wings and flight controls) is imbedded with lightning mesh to effectively and safely dissipate the adverse effects of a lightning strike. Additionally, static wicks on the trailing edge of the wings and elevator allow static build-up to be discharged safely without affecting avionics functionality or disrupting other electrical systems.
Safety by design.
For more than 80 years Cessna has always made safety its top priority. The mission here was to build an aircraft that didn’t just react to trouble, but could avoid it all together. From prop to tail, the design of the Corvalis and Corvalis TT integrates a profusion of innovative active and passive safety features. This commitment to safety has paved the way to a Utility Category certification. The strength standards for Utility Category certification are about 16% higher than those for Normal Category; it is the FAAs most demanding non-aerobatic certification level.
400 Corvalis TT
Untie your dreams at 235 knots
Leave the runway at 1,400 vertical feet per minute (427 mpm). Climb to 25,000 feet (7,620 m). Cruise at 235 confident knots (435 km/h). Nothing releases a pilots passion for flight like the Corvalis TT, the worlds fastest fixed- gear aircraft. Yet its more than mere blistering speed that makes the Corvalis TT such a pleasure to fly. Theres the sophisticated, stylish cabin, glass cockpit and side-stick control. Not to mention, the head-turning gorgeous looks.
So fast. And yet so far.
When you fly a Corvalis TT, you are not only going as fast as a fixed-gear aircraft can take you. You’re also flying much farther – under standard, no wind conditions, fly up to 1,250 nm (2,315 km). And with a BiO2™ four-place built-in oxygen system, you and your passengers can enjoy the breathtaking view from above in complete comfort and safety.
Welcome to mission control.
Side-stick controls for precise, single-pivot-point control. A Garmin G1000 glass cockpit for full, leading-edge situational awareness. The Garmin GFC 700 fully integrated flight control system for, well, absolute control. This is the level of awareness and ability to act upon it that you’ve always dreamed of in an aircraft. All standard in the Corvalis TT.
If flight is art, we have the perfect frame.
When it comes to airframes, it doesn’t get much better than this. E-glass and light, carbon-fiber composite materials allow for greater speed and performance. While actually boosting structural integrity. It all contributes to that sleek yet solid feeling you’ll experience once you climb aboard and taxi for take-off. You’ll also experience the peace of mind that comes along for the ride in such a thoughtfully designed aircraft.
This beauty is more than skin deep.
Sure, the Corvalis and Corvalis TT are two of the best-looking aircraft in the world. But we would argue theres more to life than being really good looking. Take the Corvalis TT, for instance: its the fastest fixed-gear single-engine piston aircraft in the air today. And the Corvalis is not far behind in terms of speed and performance. Both aircraft are primarily constructed of E-glass and carbon-fiber composite, materials that greatly enhances structural integrity, speed and performance. Our innovative design and manufacturing processes made the Corvalis and Corvalis TT eligible to be FAA-certified to stringient FAR, Part 23 Utility category standards. To pilots, this translates to confidence and peace of mind.
Fast yet forgiving.
The combination of the Corvalis TT’s integral leading-edge wing cuff and elevator features provide docile, predictable low-speed handling characteristics with full aileron authority – even at stall speed. And with the highest wing loading in their class, the Corvalis TT provides the most stable ride in turbulence.
Make the other runway models jealous.
Like so many supermodels throughout history, the Corvalis and Corvalis TT have “the look.” That extra-special something. Perhaps it is the combination of contemporary design and smooth, aerodynamic lines. Or maybe it is the modern paint styling and luxurious leather cabin. No matter your personal preference, you must admit: this plane’s got style.
Play it safe.
Every exterior surface of the aircraft (fuselage, wings and flight controls) is imbedded with lightning mesh to effectively and safely dissipate the adverse effects of a lightning strike. Additionally, static wicks on the trailing edge of the wings and elevator allow static build-up to be discharged safely without affecting avionics functionality or disrupting other electrical systems.
The high-performance luxury sports car of the sky.
Hand-stitched leather seats and sidewalls, class-leading cabin appointments and innovative, active safety features position the Corvalis TT cabin far above the competition. In fact, spend just a few moments in Cessnas new Corvalis TT and your outlook on single engine cabin comfort will be forever changed. But the unique and modern design of the Corvalis TT cabin is more than simply aesthetically pleasing. Unique side-stick controls simplify yoke control movements and provide an unobstructed view of instruments and controls. Plus proprietary yet comfortable three-point harness seat restraints increase pilot and passenger safety by distributing lower G-loads than typical four-point systems. And you can bring more baggage - heck, even bring the golf clubs - thanks to the ample baggage storage area behind the rear seats. The storage area is lockable and accessible through a rear exterior door. Put it all together and you get the most comfortable and luxurious single engine cabin in the world.
Hand stitched leather seats and fully lined cabin walls bespeak the handcrafted workmanship that goes into each Corvalis TT cabin. All four seats are equipped with a unique three-point harness that imposes lower loads on the body making your flying experience more comfortable.
Fully lined cabin walls and hand-stitched leather seats this finely handcrafted are usually reserved for much bigger aircraft costing much more. Yet they come standard on every Corvalis and Corvalis TT.
Designed and engineered specifically for the Corvalis and Corvalis TT, the climate control system constantly monitors cabin temperature and automatically applies heat or air conditioning as needed to maintain your desired temperature – throughout all phases of flight.
Side-stick controls, standard in every Corvalis and Corvalis TT, ensure an unobstructed view of instrumentation as well as more knee and legroom for pilot and passenger. The modern side-stick controls also allow the pilot to feel the aerodynamic forces of the airplane, while electric elevator and aileron trim make setting up the aircraft in any flight configuration easier and faster.
All decked out. Everywhere to go.
