Cessna 401
The Cessna 401 was similar to the 402, but optimized for corporate transport, having fewer seats than the 402. The 401 only remained in production until mid-1972.
Development
The Cessna 401s, 402s, 402As and some 402Bs built from 1967 to 1971 had four small oval windows, which gave the aircraft a similar appearance as the pressurized Cessna 340. Starting half way through the production of the Cessna 402B the window configuration was changed to the more distinctive five rectuangular windows.
Operators
Cessna 402s are widely used as airliners on short and thin routes from smaller communities, often with destinations of larger hubs to connect with the major airlines. The Cessna 402 is currently flown by Cape Air, among other operators.
