Design and development

The DC-6 was a scaled-down four-seat version of the six-seat Cessna CW-6. It was rolled out in February 1929 and went into production in two versions the DC-6A and DC-6B. Both versions gained type certificates in September 1929. The depression and Wall Street crash reduced demand for the aircraft and only just over 20 of each model were produced. Some aircraft were taken on charge by the USAAC in 1942.

Variants

Model DC-6A
Fitted with a 300hp (224kW) Wright R-975 Whirlwind engine.
Model DC-6B
Fitted with a 225hp (168kW) Wright J-6 engine.
UC-77

UC-77A

  • Note that the designations UC-77B, UC-77C and UC-77D were not DC-6s, they were used for other Cessna models.
