Also known as the “push-pull” twin, this very popular and commercially successful aircraft is an icon in general aviation.

With its peculiar front/rear engines layout, it is commonly used for recon, surveillance, transport, cargo, firefighting activities and military missions.

It was designed in an era when twins accidents were very common, so two engines in the same axis was a novel idea in order to make them more secure.

Its particular silhouette makes it one of the easiest planes to spot all around the world.

Twin engine, 4 seats, 210 HP (each engine), max speed of 173 KTS and a maximum range of 965 NM are its main features.

The 337 Skymaster is a twin-engine, high-wing, six-place utility aircraft produced by American aviation company Cessna. The Skymaster has seen a wide variety of uses, including civil, scientific, forestry, and military, serving in dozens of countries throughout the globe. The Skymaster has a distinct form characterized most notably by its push-pull dual engine configuration and twin booms extending aft of its main fuselage compartment. The first Skymaster took its maiden flight on February 28, 1961, and the 337 was introduced in February of 1965.

The 337’s main wing, which has a span of 38 feet, 9 inches, is mounted atop the rear aspect of the aircraft’s passenger compartment and has two tail booms connected to its underside. A vertical stabilizer extends from the rearward aspect of each of the booms, and a horizontal stabilizer connects the two.

The Skymaster is powered by two Continental IO-360-C six-cylinder piston engines that each produce up to 210 horsepower and turn 2-blade, fully- feathering, constant-speed propellers. The tractor powerplant is mounted to the nose of the aircraft, and the pusher is mounted on the rear of the passenger compartment between the two tail booms.

The Skymaster cruises at 144 miles per hour, has a top speed of 200 mph, and climbs at 1,200 feet per minute. It has a range of 965 miles and a service ceiling of 19,500 feet above sea level.

Maximum performance and broad utility define the Cessna 337 Skymaster. With two powerful engines, pilots can fly into and take off from a wide range of airfields, even those less than 2,000 feet in length. In the air, the Skymaster allows aviators to explore and push their abilities in all environments, from cruising along a coastline, to navigating high, glaciated mountain passes.
