Reading Avwebs latest addition (avweb.com) I'm reading all about how
Cessna is developing (very hush hush) their "cirrus killer", new high
performance 4 place single. They are being very hush hush about the
whole thing, except for one point; the new design will be a high
wing....


The Cessna rumor mill has been going for years. I have heard (from
people inside Cessna who ought to know) that they are working on:

A light twin.

A small turbo-prop single between the Stationair and the Caravan.

The Cirrus killer.

A low wing single.

A new retractable gear single.

I have also heard that all of these rumors a

Bunk. The cost of developing a new airplane far outweighs whatever
profits that there might be in it.

Secret marketing surveys to see what Cessna really wants to build.

Real, but unlikely ever to reach production.

Real, and they are going to produce all these aircraft.

You take your pick.
