Mission Profile:

The Development of the Light Twin Engined Aircraft [Source courtesy John Morris Article Author - Aviation Week Network]

They were the heady days of 1949. America had put World War II behind it, the GI bill was in full swing, and businesses were putting themselves on a commercial footing. The one thing they would need to get around the country, free of restrictive rail and airline schedules (what’s changed since then?) to visit clients and customers would be business aircraft.

A contemporary advertisement depicts a traveling salesman waiting at a railway station while a single-engined aircraft flies overhead.  “Is that your salesman sitting on the train?” it asks. 

Serious salesmen would need aircraft with more capability, reliability and safety to fly further, faster, in all weathers and over inhospitable terrain. 

The Twin Bonanza and Aero Commander proved to be the real pioneers. The Beechcraft (which was rather bigger than a light twin and really not a two-engined development of its single-engined namesake) enjoyed a production run of 994 aircraft from 1952-1961. Some 1,999 Aero Commanders of all types were made as the company changed hands several times between 1951 and 1980. 

Cessna and Piper waited in the wings before they came out in 1953 and 1954 respectively with the Cessna 310 and PA-23 Apache. The light twin captured the imagination and sales multiplied as new, more capable models were brought to market. 

Production numbers are impressive: Cessna sold nearly 15,000 twins before leaving the piston-powered light twin market 1985; and Piper nearly 20,000. Production of the piston-engined six-place Piper Seneca continues today.

Manufacturers today can only wish for another emerging market to match that 60-year combined production run of nearly 50,000 light twins!
