Aircraft Model Overview (Reference only)

The Cessna 336 Skymaster is one of the most distinctive twin-engine aircraft ever produced, recognized for its unique push-pull engine configuration. Introduced in the early 1960s, the 336 was Cessna’s innovative answer to the challenges of conventional light twins—offering multi-engine redundancy without the asymmetric thrust issues typically encountered during an engine failure. The Skymaster’s design places one engine in the nose and another at the rear of the fuselage in a pusher configuration. This centerline thrust arrangement eliminates the “critical engine” concept and provides exceptionally stable single-engine handling. Power is typically supplied by two Continental O-360 engines, each producing around 210 horsepower. The result is dependable climb performance, good cruise efficiency, and safer engine-out characteristics compared to traditional wing-mounted twins. The high-wing layout, twin-boom tail, and fixed landing gear give the 336 a rugged, practical appearance and allow for excellent visibility and ground handling. The cabin seats up to six occupants and provides a spacious, comfortable environment for passengers. Large doors and good baggage access make it suitable for personal travel, aerial survey, and utility roles. Many aircraft have since been upgraded with modern avionics, enhancing their IFR cross-country capability. Within the general aviation community, the Cessna 336 earned a reputation as a forgiving and approachable twin. It became popular for multi-engine training, observation missions, and owner-pilot operations. Although later evolved into the retractable-gear 337 model, the fixed-gear 336 remains appreciated for its mechanical simplicity and unique flight characteristics. The Cessna 336 Skymaster stands as a remarkable example of innovative aircraft design. Its centerline thrust concept, practical layout, and dependable performance continue to make it a fascinating and capable aircraft decades after its introduction.
