Textron’s Cessna SkyCourier Aircraft Makes Its First Flight

Textron is developing the SkyCourier as a utility aircraft that can carry freight or passengers. The twin turboprop model has now started its flight test campaign and will likely complete type certification by the end of 2021, when it is due to enter service with FedEx. Six prototype aircraft will be involved in the flight testing at Textron’s facility in Wichita, Kansas.
