Cessna 414

The Cessna 414 is an American light, pressurized, twin-engine transport aircraft that first flew in 1968, with an improved variant introduced from 1978 as the 414A Chancellor. It was developed to appeal to owners of unpressurized twins, using the fuselage of the Cessna 421 and the wing design of the Cessna 401. It is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a conventional tail and retractable tricycle landing gear, powered by two wing-mounted 310 horsepower Continental TSIO-520-J six-cylinder engines. The prototype, registered N7170C, first flew on 1 November 1968, and the Chancellor name was used for models marketed from 1976. The 414A added a redesigned, longer-span wing with integral fuel tanks and an extended nose for more baggage space. American Jet Industries built a turboprop conversion in 1974, and later engine conversions have used aviation diesel engines.
