Cessna seemed willing to go to any length to sell airplanes. The company went to a length of 31 feet, 9 inches on the Model 207. The 165 cubic feet of fuselage can accommodate almost a ton of cargo or a starting basketball team and two substitutes. Power is the Continental 10-520F equipped with fuel injection to deliver 300 hp for takeoff and 285 hp max continuous. The Turbo model is outfitted with the TSIO-52OG and delivers the same power for takeoff and continuous flight.
