Reims-Cessna F406 Caravan II
The Reims-Cessna F406 Caravan II is a twin turboprop aircraft manufactured and designed by Reims Aviation in cooperation with Cessna.
==Design and development==
The F406 Caravan II is a twin turboprop engined, fourteen-seat low-wing monoplane of conventional aluminium and steel construction. A development of the Cessna 404 with two Pratt & Whitney PT-6 turboprop engines, it is similar to the pressurized Cessna 441. The aircraft first flew on 22 September 1983,〔Taylor 1988, p. 79.〕 and was produced by Reims Aviation (later known as GECI Aviation) until their 2013 demise〔("GECI Aviation" ). Retrieved 9 June 2012.〕 In 2014, the Chinese based Aviation Industry Corporation of China subsidiary Continental Motors, Inc. partnered with French based marketer ASI Innovation to purchase rights to the F406, and restart production of piston and turboprop variants with diesel fuel capability.〔http://www.flyingmag.com/aircraft/turboprops/continental-build-former-cessna-cabin-class-twin〕
The F406 is aimed at passenger and small cargo transport, and civilian and military surveillance. For extra cargo capacity a cargo pod can be fitted to the belly of the aircraft. The ''Surmar'' is a new maritime surveillance version of the aircraft with extra equipment such as a 360 degree radar.
Though the two engines make it more expensive to operate than similar aircraft such as the single-engined Cessna 208 Caravan I, having two engines makes it comply with European regulations regarding commercial operations, which only allow multi-engine aircraft for commercial instrument flight.
