Cessna renamed the Model 441 the Conquest II in 1983. 1984 models starting with constructor number 195 used lighter-weight, four-bladed McCauley propellers. [2] A 441 with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-112 turboprops was flown in 1986, but did not enter production. Cessna built 362 of the aircraft between 1977 and 1986. [1]
A fan is a propeller with a large number of blades. A fan therefore produces a lot of thrust for a given diameter but the closeness of the blades means that each strongly affects the flow around the others. If the flow is supersonic, this interference can be beneficial if the flow can be compressed through a series of shock waves rather than one.
