Le Cessna 206, qui fit son premier vol en 1965, est le descendant direct du Cessna 205 auquel on avait ajouté un moteur plus puissant et une double porte de soute. Dès le début de sa production il fut décliné en deux versions : le Super Skylane (version passagers) et le Super Skywagon (version utilitaire). Par la suite de nombreuses améliorations furent apportées. En 1969 le Super Skywagon devint simplement le Skywagon et en 1971 on le rebaptisa "Stationair". Dès lors les deux versions ne firent plus qu'une. Comme pour toute sa gamme de monomoteurs, Cessna abandonna la production du Cessna 206 en 1985. Celle-ci ne reprit qu'en 1994 avec deux versions : le Cessna Stationair (206H) et le Cessna Turbo Stationair (T206H), le second étant, comme son nom l'indique, propulsé par un moteur turbocompressé. Ces avions reçurent leurs certifications en 1998. Il existe également des versions remotorisées par l'américain Soloy Aviations Solutions : Le Cessna 206 Soloy Mk1 motorisé par une turbine Rolls-Royce / Allison 250-C20S de 420 ch ainsi que le Cessna 206 Soloy Mk2 motorisé par une turbine Rolls-Royce 250B17F de 450 ch. Ces versions apportent un gain de performance conséquent tout en réduisant fortement les nuisances sonores, elles sont utilisées pour de nombreuses missions de transport et de travail aérien.

The Cessna 205, 206, and 207, known variously as the Super Skywagon, Skywagon, Stationair, and Super Skylane are a family of single engine, general aviation aircraft with fixed landing gear used in commercial air service and also for personal use. The family was originally developed from the popular retractable-gear Cessna 210. The line's combination of a powerful engine, rugged construction and a large cabin has made these aircraft popular bush planes. Cessna describes the 206 as "the sport-utility vehicle of the air." These airplanes are also used for aerial photography, skydiving and other utility purposes. They can also be equipped with floats, amphibious floats and skis. Alternatively, they can be fitted with luxury appointments for use as a personal air transport. Between the start of production in 1962 and 2006 the total Cessna 205, 206 and 207 production has been 8509 aircraft so far.
Cessna U206
The original 1964 model was the U206, powered by a 285 hp (213 kW) Continental IO-520-A. The “U” designation indicated “utility” and this model was equipped with a pilot side door and large clamshell rear door serving the back two rows of seats, allowing easy loading of over-sized cargo. There was a TU206 turbocharged version powered by the Continental TSIO-520-C engine producing 285 hp (213 kW). After 1967 the turbo TU206 was powered by a TSIO-520-F of 300 hp (220 kW) (the extra 15 hp (11 kW) were obtained by turning the engine at a higher rpm, and was only allowed for five minutes. Due to the large propeller diameter, the additional engine speed meant that the propeller tips were pushed to transonic speeds, which required much more power. From 1964 to 1969 the U206 was known as the “Super Skywagon”. From 1970 it was named the “Stationair”, a contraction of “Station Wagon of the Air”, which is a good description of the aircraft's intended role. Sub-variants were designated U206 to U206G. In 1977 the U206 had its engine upgraded to a Continental IO-520-F of 300 hp (220 kW) (continuous rating, obtained at a lower speed than the previous IO-520-F) and the TU206 powerplant was changed to the TSIO-520-M producing 310 hp (230 kW). Production of all versions of the U206 was halted in 1986 when Cessna stopped manufacturing all piston engine aircraft. A total of 5208 U206s had been produced.
