Cessna, now a brand of Textron Aviation, is an American aerospace manufacturer primarily known for general aviation aircraft. While Cessna is best known for small, piston-powered aircraft and business jets like the Citation family, their aircraft, particularly the Cessna Caravan, are being explored for applications in cargo, aerial refueling, and as a platform for developing electric, hybrid-electric, and hydrogen propulsion systems. Cessna partners with companies like ZeroAvia and Reliable Robotics, and also has relationships with the U.S. Air Force.
