There IS NO 2-seater Cessna 406. The 406 is built to carry up to 14 passengers. Some seats can be removed in favor of hauling cargo, but it is still considered to be a 14-passenger aircraft. The standard length, in ANY configuration is 39 feet.
All Cessna 406 are low wing, twin engine executive aircraft. -The "Cessna 406 Bushplane" in the book "Hatchet" is entirelya figment of the author's fertile imagination. The There is in fact NO such aircraft.
The Cessna 406 is a fast light cargo aircraft with two Pratt and Whitney PT-6 turboprops.
The Cessna 406 is NOT a bush plane. It's a business/light cargo plane with two turoprops, designed to commute and land on hard runways.
The 406 Caravan ll has two Pratt and Whitney PT-6 engines.
It's made in France. It's the only turboprop Cessna with two engines. And you really have to work at it to make one crash.
In the book "Hatchet" it is a small single engined plane with only enough room for two people. This deascription is entirely fictional.The Cessna 406 is NOT a bush plane; never was, never will be. It is a 9+ passenger, twin turboprop business plane. Typical Cessna bush planes are the 120, 140, 180, and 185. Anyone who says differently is talking through their hat.ANS 3 - Agreed, -The 406 is a twin engine business/cargo plane. -Somebody wrote a kid's book naming a bushplane "Cessna 406" and now everyone believes it
Yes they are alive and well, they still build several different models of aircraft from a two seater trainers to corporate jets.
The Cessna 406 bush plane is typically used for tasks such as wildlife surveys, cargo transport to remote areas, aerial photography, forestry patrols, and other missions that require access to rugged or inaccessible terrain. It is known for its versatility and reliability in challenging environments.
I suppose that anyone looking for this answer has just read Hatchet. Hatchet is a wonderful, award winning young adult novel. However the author, Gary Paulson, erroneously called the small two-place airplane, that is so critical to the story, a Cessna 406. A Cessna 406 was actually a high performance twin engined, turbo prop aircraft. The aircraft seated 6 persons and could carry 3,000 pounds and cruise at 450 miles an hour at high altitude. I got my answer to this question from Cessna's website then called the customer care number listed there.
The little Cessna 150 is a two-seater. So besides the pilot there's room for 1 more. The takeoff weight limit is 730 Kilograms and since the plane's weight is 504 kilograms, the total weight you can bring on board is 226 kilograms ;-)
No, there are two-seater convertibles as well.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is a two seater car. However, if you are willing to fork the extra money over, you may be able to get a four seater car.
