By their nature, small-engine plane Cessna 210 was a heavily revised and modified version of the aircraft Cessna 182However, the American aircraft manufacturers thoroughly worked hard to create a truly functional and modern, in terms of technical solutions, plane. The first model, which primarily relates to the base production model Cessna 210 Centurion and a modified version of the Cessna 210A, quadruple and were equipped with piston engines Continental IO-470 260 power in HP, but later, since 1962 years, airplanes could take to your board up to six people, allowing more efficient use of resources when you move the aircraft at distances up to 1300 kilometers.

A distinctive feature of the Cessna 210 Centurion from previous models of the American aircraft building corporation Cessna was an improved landing gear system, which allowed the landing gear to be retracted into a special compartment during takeoff, which improved the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft, reducing drag and reducing fuel consumption. In addition, the retractable landing gear increased the aircraft's maneuverability and controllability, which in turn won the support of many pilots of that time and today.

In 1961, the base model Cessna 210 Centurion was replaced by a modification of the Cessna 210A, which received only design changes - the cockpit windows were increased in size, and in addition, they now appeared on each side of the aircraft, which improved visibility during the flight. ... The Cessna 210A model has not undergone any technical changes.

In 1962 year, the American aircraft designers have presented revised on the basis of a modification of the basic model Cessna 210B, able to be placed on its board until 6 people (1 5 pilot and passengers). The fuselage of the aircraft is shorter by reducing the back, and the plane itself was equipped with a new piston engine Continental IO-470-S, in 230 hp

Model Cessna 210C received in a number of small changes in their appearance, in particular, have concerned the replacement of the old seats and avionics, but her appearance did not lead to popularity, and for the entire production period has been created just 135 units of aircraft.

Small-engine plane Cessna 210D, presented in 1964 year, was a profoundly modernized version of the previous model and was equipped with a powerful engine Continental IO-520-A capable of developing 285 hp Among other things, the current model had an increased maximum takeoff weight, constituting 1406 kg.

Introduced in the year 1965 version Cessna 210E, inherently has modified the modification of the previous model and has improved properties of controllability and maneuverability. In addition, the fuselage of the aircraft has also undergone a number of changes - due to the use of a powerful engine, aircraft manufacturers had to strengthen the body of the aircraft to ensure maximum safety of the pilot and passengers.

Introduced in 1966, the model Cessna 210F, received turbocharged Continental TSIO-520-C power in 285 hp, as well as a number of improvements in terms of the appearance of the aircraft, did not significantly affect the popularity of the aircraft.

Model Cessna 210G, launched in mass production with 1967 years, has a new profile of the wing had a new rear-view window, and due to the powerful engine, the version received from the Cessna 210F, had a higher take-off weight in 1542 kg. During the period of production, the assembly line of the American Aviation Plant descended 228 aircraft of this version.

Version Cessna 210H, 1968 appeared in the year, had a new flap with a turn angle of 30 degree, against the previous value in 40 degrees. Among other things, the model of the small-engine aircraft had also increased capacity fuel tanks, due to which, the maximum flight distance was increased to 1668 kilometers. Some changes undergone and the panel control of the aircraft, which has become more convenient for pilots, thereby modification was quite popular.

To improve the flight characteristics of this family of Cessna aircraft, Cessna 210J model presented in 1969 year, produced an improvement of the wing geometry and the bow of the small-engine aircraft. Among other things, the aircraft was equipped with a new piston engine Continental IO-520-J of the same capacity. Among other things, the model Cessna 210J also produced in modifications turbocharged Continental TSIO-520H, but the number of models produced was very limited due to the relatively high price.

Model Cessna 210K received a new engine Continental IO-520-L capacity in 300 hp, the new chassis, advanced cockpit and passengers, and increased maximum takeoff weight, constituting 1724 kilos. Pretty much it has changed in this modification and interior design of passenger seats - the rear seats have been replaced with a single-piece, with the result that even a prolonged air travel have become quite comfortable for passengers.

Modification Cessna 210L was established on the basis of a previous version of small-engine aircraft of this family. Aeronautical engineer redesigned most of the electrical circuit of the aircraft, improved chassis system, modified aerodynamic shape of the aircraft provided the aircraft and higher speed flight component 372 km \ h (maximum airspeed). The current version of the Cessna 210 become the most popular since the beginning of the time of production, and the production cycle, which lasted from the 1972 1976 on year, managed to produce more than 2 thousand units of this model.

In 1977 year, the American aircraft manufacturers have presented a new model - Cessna 210M, has incorporated a few changes compared to the previous modification and is equipped with the new engine delivers power in 310 hp

The Cessna 210N, produced between 1981 and 1984, featured a new chassis system and avionics. The turbocharged engine of the aircraft allowed the aircraft to accelerate to a speed of 378 km / h (maximum flight speed) and cover distances of 1668 km. Around the same period, an upgraded version of this model appeared - the Cessna P210N, which received a turbocharged Continental TSIO-520-AF engine with a capacity of 310 hp. as well as a pressurized cockpit and four separate side windows on each side of the aircraft.

The Cessna 210R and Cessna P210R models received new stabilizers, as well as a turbocharged Continental TSIO-520-CE engine with 325 hp. (Cessna P210R version).

Among other things, the American aircraft manufacturer has released a special version of the aircraft - the Cessna 210 Riley Turbine, which has a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-112 engine with a power of 500 hp. However, due to the high cost of production and low demand, only a few aircraft of this modification left the assembly line of the plant.
