Cessna TTx Aircraft under $500,000

Under $500k for a piston single is the high-end price band — typically modern composite singles (Cirrus SR22/SR22T from mid-2000s+), late-model Bonanza or Mooney with full glass, low-time airframes with current engine status and full mandate compliance. Highest acquisition cost in piston class but lowest pre-buy discovery risk.

← Cessna 400 family

The Cessna TTx (Model T240) is the fastest fixed-gear piston single Cessna ever sold — a 310-hp turbocharged, all-composite four-seater descended from the Columbia and Corvalis that cruises around 235 kt on fixed gear. Its draw is speed and a modern Garmin glass panel without retractable-gear complexity or the associated insurance load. The buy decision is a small, late-production used fleet and composite-airframe specifics versus genuinely turboprop-shaming piston speed.

Cessna TTx 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 TTx Cost of Ownership estimate
Fuel (17.0 GPH × $6.20, 100 hrs)$10,540/yr
Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$25,000/yr
Variable (per hour)$195/hr
Engine Overhaul (every 2,000 hrs)$36,000
Estimates at 100 flight hours/year. Actual costs vary by usage, location and insurance.

The TTx's TSIO-550 burns approximately 17-18 gph, the highest single-engine piston burn in the Cessna line. Fixed gear removes retractable-gear maintenance; the turbocharger system, Garmin G2000 avionics, and composite structure define the annual - turbocharger and exhaust condition, avionics currency, and composite-structure assessment by a qualified inspector. The composite-Cessna community is narrower than the metal fleet. The TTx operates between turbocharged piston singles and the lightest turboprops on cost.

Buying a Used Cessna TTx

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

What to check before buying

The Cessna TTx (Model T240) is the final and most refined version of the composite speedster line - a four-seat, turbocharged, fixed-gear single with a Continental TSIO-550-C (310 hp), cruising around 235 knots. It is the ultimate development of the Columbia 400 / Cessna 400 Corvalis lineage, with a Garmin G2000 glass panel and detail refinements, and remains the fastest fixed-gear piston single Cessna offered.

TTx versus the Cessna 400 Corvalis. The TTx is the updated successor to the Cessna 400 Corvalis, sharing the composite airframe, fixed gear, and 310-hp TSIO-550 while adding modern Garmin G2000 touchscreen avionics and aerodynamic and equipment refinements. For buyers, the TTx is the newest, best-equipped member of the line, at a premium over an earlier Corvalis.

235 knots on fixed gear. Like the 400, the TTx reaches around 235 knots through composite aerodynamic cleanliness rather than retractable gear - fast, without a retractable-gear system to maintain. Its composite structure and turbocharged engine define ownership more than any gear system.

Buy it if you want the newest, best-equipped, fastest fixed-gear piston single Cessna built - around 235 knots with modern glass avionics - and are prepared for composite-specific maintenance and turbocharged single operating costs.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna TTx

Why did Cessna stop making the TTx?
Sales were dismal — only 23 TTx sold in 2017 vs 309 Cirrus SR22s. The TTx lacked a whole-airplane parachute (CAPS), had a smaller dealer/service network, and Cessna focused resources on jets and turboprops. Production ended February 2018. The small fleet (~300 total) means parts support may become challenging long-term, though the Continental TSIO-550 engine is well-supported.
How does the Cessna TTx compare to the Cirrus SR22?
The TTx is faster (235 kts vs 185 kts) — the fastest production fixed-gear piston single ever. Both seat 4 with similar useful loads. The SR22 has CAPS parachute, much larger owner community (9,000+ delivered vs ~300 TTx), and better resale value. The TTx has fixed gear (no gear-up risk) and composite construction. For speed-focused buyers, the TTx wins. For everything else, the SR22 dominates.
What are the operating costs of a Cessna TTx?
Variable costs run about 33/hr. Fuel burns 16 GPH (6/hr at /gal) from the twin-turbo Continental TSIO-550. Annual budget is 35K at 200 hours/year (77/hr all-in). The Garmin G2000 touchscreen avionics are modern and capable. At 40K average used price, the TTx offers supercar-level piston performance — but the small fleet and discontinued production give pause to long-term buyers.
