Cessna Aircraft Company has selected the SMA SR305-230E engine to power its Turbo Skylane NXT aircraft. The Turbo Skylane NXT is a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing airplane. The 230-hp engine will give it a cruise speed of 157 knots at 88% power and an altitude of 14,000 ft. It has an operating ceiling of 20,000 feet. Service entry is planned for 2013. Along with the selection of the SR305-230E engine by Cessna, SMA (Safran Group) has signed an agreement with Lycoming Engines, a leading supplier of piston engines for light aircraft, a division of Avco Corporation, to provide support for SMA engines worldwide. SMA (Société de Motorisations Aéronautiques), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Snecma (Safran group), designs, produces, sells and supports the SR305-230E, a compression ignition piston engine, which addresses current and future concerns in the general aviation market. SMA engines are primarily intended for single or twin-piston engine aircraft, using Jet-A, Jet-A1, TS-1 or No. 3 fuel.
