The Cessna 441 Conquest II was the first turboprop designed by Cessna and was meant to fill the gap between their jets and piston-engined aircraft. It was developed in November 1974, with the first aircraft delivered in September 1977. It is a pressurized, turbine development of the Cessna 404.

[edit] Design and development
The aircraft has retractable tricycle landing gear and on takeoff has a ground roll of 1,785 ft (544 m). The Conquest is powered by two Garrett TPE331 turboprops powering two four-bladed McCauley propellers. A 441 with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-112 turboprops was flown in 1986 but did not enter production.
[edit] Airframe Limitations
The Cessna 441 is limited to 22,500 hours of air time by a Cessna Supplementary Inspection Document (SID). This life-limit SID is mandatory in the USA for air carriers operating the aircraft but is advisory only for private operators.[1]
[edit] Designation
The ICAO designator for the Cessna Conquest as used in flight plans is C441.
[edit] Further developments
A smaller aircraft was marketed as the Cessna 425 Conquest I, itself a turbine development of the Cessna 421.
