A total of 576 Cessna 205s were produced. The 205 was produced in only two model years, 19, before being replaced in production by the Cessna 206. The 205 is powered by a Continental IO-470-S engine producing 260 hp (190 kW). This distinctive cowling was made more streamlined on the later Cessna 206. The 205 retained the early 210's engine cowling bulge, originally where the 210 stowed its nosewheel on retraction. The six-seat aircraft was essentially a Cessna 210 with fixed landing gear and with changes to the crew and passenger door arrangement, being officially designated by Cessna as a "Model 210-5". The Cessna 205 was introduced late in 1962 as a 1963 model year. Alternatively, they can be fitted with luxury appointments for use as a personal air transport.įrom 1962 to 2006 Cessna produced 8,509 aircraft in the 205, 206 and 207 variants. They can also be equipped with floats, amphibious floats and skis. Cessna describes the 206 as "the sport-utility vehicle of the air." These airplanes are also used for aerial photography, skydiving and other utility purposes. The line's combination of a powerful engine, rugged construction and a large cabin has made these aircraft popular bush planes. The family was originally developed from the popular retractable-gear Cessna 210 and produced by the Cessna Aircraft Company. The Cessna 205, 206 and 207, known primarily as the Stationair (and marketed variously as the Super Skywagon, Skywagon and Super Skylane), are a family of single-engined, general aviation aircraft with fixed landing gear, used in commercial air service as well as for personal use.
