Cessna 400 -zero sales... why?

[IO540]

US AOPA mag, July 2011:

Cessna had no deliveried of the 350 Corvalis last year or this year, and no deliveries of the 400 Corvalis TT compared to one in the first quarter of 2010.

Whatever you might think of the idea of building a 350HP 200kt+ 25000ft-ceiling piston single with fixed gear and trying to sell it for the best part of $800k :ugh: these extremely poor figures are very suprising.

Cessna must have done something very recently to really kill the sales.

Even I have flown in a C400, 2-3 years ago.

Cessna takes orders for 30 aircraft at Florida's Sun 'n Fun (http://ukga.com/news/view?contentid=21170)

The Corvalis TTX is the current model on the Cessna website and it would appear from that article above that they have taken orders for it.

I suppose the fixed gear will at least spare some pilots from potential embarrassment! :)

Does the TTX have known ice?

Don't know if it's certified for icing but there is an option for TKS "weeping wing".

Don't think the name helped. What about the European dealer network. Have they pushed it over here?

It looks like a glorified Cirrus :oh: At $800k, I think that it will need more than a push.
