Description:

Hello everyone, today I decided to post a Cessna 208 Caravan Supervan 900. I made this skydiving version, but whoever wants to add airline paintings or transform it into a normal Cessna 208. Have fun and have a good day or night.


Wikipedia:

The Cessna 208 "Caravan" is a single-engine turboprop aircraft, with a high wing, fixed tricycle landing gear and conventional metal construction, developed and manufactured in the United States by Cessna Aircraft. With the installation of floats, the Caravan becomes an amphibious aircraft.



Development:

In the early 1980s , the market was lacking multirole aircraft of greater size and range. Cessna Aircraft saw an opportunity and presented the Cessna 208 "Caravan" project.



The prototype first flew in 1982, with its launch in 1984. Part of the development was funded by FedEx, an international cargo and parcel company, which needed a light aircraft with low operating costs, in order to expand its coverage on North American soil, ordering several units even before its approval, which guaranteed the continuity of the project and attracted more buyers, making the Caravan a great commercial success.




Supervan 900 variant:

It is a Caravan re-engined by Texas Turbine Conversions to provide greater power and fuel economy.
