Cessna 337E Aircraft (Super Skymaster)

← Cessna 337 family

The Cessna 337E is a member of the 337 Skymaster family — Cessna's unique push-pull centerline-thrust twin, with one engine in the nose and one in the tail on twin booms. This layout puts both engines on the centerline rather than the wings, removing the asymmetric-thrust handling of a conventional twin if one engine fails. See the live price range and median above for the Cessna 337E and Skymaster listings currently on the market.

Cessna 337E Price & Cost

Cessna 337E Price Guide

Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.

Cessna 337E Cost of Ownership estimate
Fuel (22.0 GPH × $6.20, 100 hrs)$13,640/yr
Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$25,000/yr
Variable (per hour)$260/hr
Engine Overhaul (every 1,500 hrs)$30,000
Estimates at 100 flight hours/year. Actual costs vary by usage, location and insurance.

The 337E's two IO-360s burn approximately 22 gph combined - twin-engine cost at light-twin fuel burn. Both engines and their systems are inspected at annual, roughly doubling the engine-related inspection cost versus a single. IO-360 parts are available and well-supported. The fixed-gear push-pull configuration is simpler than a retractable twin, reducing gear-system maintenance. Two-engine operating cost is the primary premium over single-engine alternatives.

Buying a Used Cessna 337E

Buying a Cessna 337E comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

The Cessna 337E Skymaster (1971-1972) is a six-seat, fixed-gear push-pull twin - two Continental IO-360-C engines (about 210 hp each, one fore and one aft on the centerline), cruising around 170 knots with about 900 nm range. Its centerline-thrust configuration is its defining feature: on engine failure there is no asymmetric thrust, dramatically reducing the demands on the pilot compared with a conventional wing-engined twin.

The push-pull safety argument. In a conventional twin, one engine failure creates strong yaw and roll toward the dead engine, demanding immediate correct rudder, gear and flap management, and a trained response - the source of Vmc accidents. The Skymaster puts both engines on the centerline, so losing either produces no yaw. This controllability advantage was the Skymaster's primary engineering rationale.

337E in the Skymaster family. The 337E is a mid-sequence letter in the long civilian Skymaster run. Performance and specifications are consistent across the 337 family; the letter reflects production year and minor updates. For buyers, condition and price are the primary factors within the family.

Buy it if you want twin-engine redundancy with the handling simplicity of centerline thrust - particularly for single-pilot IFR, where the Skymaster's manageable engine-failure behavior is preferable to a conventional twin's Vmc demands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna 337E

What is the Cessna 337E Skymaster?
The 337E is a member of the 337 Skymaster family — a centerline-thrust twin with one engine in the nose and one in the tail on twin booms, so the engines are on the centerline rather than the wings.
What is special about the Skymaster's layout?
Because the engines are on the centerline rather than the wings, the Skymaster avoids the asymmetric-thrust handling of a conventional twin when one engine fails, which makes engine-out handling far easier.
How much does a Cessna 337E cost?
Used 337E prices vary with engine times, turbocharging and avionics. See the live price range and median above.
What engines does the Cessna 337E use?
Two Continental piston engines in a push-pull centerline arrangement — one tractor engine in the nose and one pusher engine in the tail. Turbocharged versions were offered.
How many seats does the Cessna 337E have?
Typically four to six, depending on the interior configuration.
Is the Cessna 337 a good twin?
Its centerline-thrust layout makes engine-out handling far easier than a conventional twin, though the rear engine's cooling and maintenance need attention. Condition and engine times drive value and safety.
Is the Cessna 337E still in production?
No — Skymaster production ended decades ago. The 337 is supported by a used fleet and parts network for owner-flown and utility use.
