The Cessna 408 SkyCourier is an American twin-turboprop, high-wing, utility aircraft under development by Cessna. DevelopmentThe Model 408 was launched on 28 November 2017 by Textron Aviation, with an introduction planned for 2020.[2] The 408's design was developed to match FedEx Express requirements, like the earlier Cessna 208 Caravan.[2] FedEx Express will be the launch customer, with an order of "50 cargo aircraft and options for 50 more".[3] Initial wind tunnel tests were completed in March 2018. It will be available in a 19-passenger variant with large cabin windows and separate crew and passenger doors, or in a cargo variant sized for three LD3s and 6,000 pounds of payload, featuring a "large cargo door and a flat floor cabin". It will cruise up to {{cvt|200|knots|km/h}}, with a maximum range of {{cvt|900|nmi|km}}. Single-point refueling will speed turnarounds.[3] The clean-sheet design should offer better cabin flexibility and payload capability, superior performance and lower operating costs than its competitors.[3] The airframe will be built from traditional aluminum materials and will be equipped with proven Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-65 engines, fixed landing gear and Garmin G1000 avionics. The non-pressurized cabin will be {{cvt|70|in|cm|0}} tall and wide, with a flat floor and a {{cvt|87|in|cm|0}} cargo door.[5] Specifications{{Aircraft specs|ref=Cessna[8] |prime units?= imp |capacity= 19 passengers/5,000 lb (2,268 kg) payload (commuter) or 3×LD3s/6,000 lb (2,722 kg) payload (cargo) |length m= 16.71 |span m= 21.95 |height m= 6.02 |more general= |eng1 name= Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-65SC |eng1 type= turboprop |eng1 number= 2 |eng1 hp= 1100 |prop blade number= 4 |prop name= McCauley |prop note= Blackmac 4-blade aluminum, auto feathering, reverse |range nmi=400 |range note=Cargo Range (with 5,000 lb payload) |ferry range nmi=900 |cruise speed kts= 200 |cruise speed note=maximum |more performance=
