Description

The Cessna 210 Centurion is a six-seat, single-engine, piston aircraft that was first flown in January 1957 and produced by Cessna. It entered the market in 1960. This model was designed similarly to the Cessna 182 but includes retractable landing gear, a swept tail, a new wing, and a hydraulic gear system. The fuselage was extended and made wider, while the flaps were extended to allow for a decreased landing speed.
