HP isn't the factor. Look at the speeds those 260 ponies

?Huh? The airplane is underpowered but HP isn't the factor?

Commanders are slower than comparable airplanes because they sacrifice
speed for roominess; their fuselage cross section is larger. It would
take a lot more horsepower to raise the cruise speed appreciably, at
the cost of range or payload.
