The Cessna 425 Conquest I was a twin-engine turboprop aircraft designed to provide an affordable entry point into turbine-powered aviation for corporate and charter operators. First flown in September 1978, it was a low-wing, cabin-class twin powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-112 engines, seating up to seven occupants including the pilot. With a maximum cruise speed of 265 knots and a service ceiling of 33,400 feet, the aircraft offered King Air-class performance at a lower acquisition cost. Cessna Aircraft Company manufactured 236 units between 1981 and 1986 at their Wichita, Kansas facility.
