Cessna’s VP of sales and marketing, Roger Whyte, told AVWeb this week that even though it’s focusing much of its attention on the recently acquired Columbia composite line, Cessna is still on track to build the so-called next-generation single. It will occupy a narrow niche between the 182/206 and the 350 and 400 from Columbia. Whyte also updated us on the Skycatcher project, which is soon to begin production in China.
