The Cessna C-106 Loadmaster (or Cessna P260) was a 1940s American twin-engined transport monoplane.[1] Built of plywood it did not enter production due to a wartime shortage of material.[1]
Development
The C-106 Loadmaster was a twin-engined high-wing cantilever monoplane with a retractable tailwheel landing gear.[2] It was powered by two 600 hp Pratt & Whitney R-1340 engines.[1] Two company owned P260 demonstrators were built and given the military designation C-106 Loadmaster.[1] An order for 500 was cancelled due to a shortage of plywood.[1]
