Textron Aviation is preparing to showcase seven aircraft at the upcoming EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, an annual event that attracts aviation enthusiasts from around the world. This year's exhibition will be held from July 22 through July 28 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. During this period, the airport becomes the busiest in the world due to the influx of attendees.
Among the aircraft Textron Aviation plans to present are models from both Cessna and Beechcraft, including notable entries such as the Cessna Citation M2 and Beechcraft King Air 360. The event is known for its diverse range of airshows and flying displays, with performances by groups like the Snowbirds and Red Bull Airforce scheduled for this year.
The Cessna Citation M2, introduced in 2011, is part of a series developed in the late 1980s. It features two Williams FJ44 turbofan engines and includes enhancements like winglets for improved efficiency. Meanwhile, Beechcraft's King Air 360 represents an upgrade to a longstanding series first developed in the late 1960s. This model boasts Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-60A turboprop engines and modern avionics.
