Cessna ATPTB Twin Pusher Turboprop

[Dynoman]

Cessna developed a twin turboprop pusher as a technology testbed and I was wondering if anyone has acquired any photos of the aircraft. It was apparently seen, mostly at night, around Wichita.

Here is NASA's report on a piloted simulation study in connection with the aircraft.

Very interesting! This was originally the prototype Cessna 550 Citation II [N550C], which carried experimental c/n 686.

This particular aircraft didn't fare well as it is listed as "destroyed" on April 12, 1991.
