| The Cessna 310 first flew on January 3, 1953 with deliveries commencing in 1954. The 310 featured new ideas such as engine exhaust thrust augmentor tubes and the fuel tip tanks.The first significant upgrade to the 310 line came in 1959, with the 310C, which introduced more powerful 260hp (195kW) IO-470-D engines. The 310D (1960) featured swept back vertical tail surfaces. An extra cabin window was added with the 310F. A development of the 310F was the turbocharged 320 Skyknight, with TSIO-470-B engines and a fourth cabin side-window. The Skyknight was replaced in 1969, by the similar Turbo 310. The 310G introduced the 'stabilatip' tip tanks, while the 310K replaced the rear two windows on each side with a single unit. Subsequent significant developments include the 310Q and turbocharged T310Q with redesigned rear cabin with a skylight window, and the final 310R and T310R, identifiable by longer noses. Production ceased in 1980. |
