In fact, during the design of the aircraft, dramatic changes have been carried out, both in the exterior design of the aircraft and its flight performance, in view of what has become a model and be positioned as a separate aircraft.

Initially it was assumed that the Reims-Cessna F406 Caravan II aircraft will be operated exclusively as a military patrol aircraft, however, because of the rather expensive development, then it was decided to produce aircraft of this type and for the civil aviation sector, where the plane could be applied as a a passenger aircraft, and as a cargo aircraft.
