Development
The 310 first flew on January 3, 1953 with deliveries starting in late 1954.
The sleek modern lines of the new twin were backed up by innovative features such as engine exhaust thrust augmenter tubes and the storage of all fuel in tip tanks in early models.
In 1964, the engine exhaust was changed to flow under the wing instead of the augmenter tubes, which were considered to be noisy.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

Typical of Cessna model naming conventions, a letter was added after the model number to identify changes to the original design over the years.
The first significant upgrade to the 310 series was the 310C in 1959, which introduced more powerful 260 hp (194 kW) [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] engines.
In 1960 the 310D featured swept back vertical tail surfaces. An extra cabin window was added with the 310F.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

The 320 Skyknight was developed from the 310F, which featured [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] TSIO-470-B engines and a fourth cabin side-window.
The Skyknight was in production between 1961 and 1969 (the 320E was named the Executive Skyknight), when it was replaced by the similar Turbo 310.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

The 310G introduced the upswept 'stabilatip' tip tanks, while the 310K replaced the rear two windows with a single unit.
Subsequent developments include the 310Q and turbocharged T310Q with redesigned rear cabin with a skylight window, and the final 310R and T310R, identifiable for their lengthened noses.
Production ended in 1980.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

Over the years there were several modifications to the 310 to improve performance.
Noted aircraft engineer Jack Riley produced 2 variants.
The Riley Rocket 310 and the Riley Turbostream 310.
Only seven of the latter modifications took place and the Riley Turbostream is perhaps the highest performance civilian piston light twin in existence.
Riley replaced the standard Continental 310 hp (230 kW) engines with Lycoming TIO540 350 hp (261 kW) engines.

These turbo-charged intercooled engines were installed with 3 blade Hartzell propellers in a counter-rotating configuration to further increase performance and single engine safety.
At 5,400 lb (2,400 kg). gross weight the aircraft had a weight to power ratio of 7.71 lb (3.50 kg). per horsepower.
This resulted in a cruising speed of 260 knots (480 km/h) at 18,000 feet (5,500 m) and a rate of climb 3,000FPM.

Operational history
Commercial applications
The Cessna 310 was a common charter aircraft for the many air taxi firms that sprang up in the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] boom that followed [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
The advantages to the Cessna 310 over its contemporaries, such as the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], were its speed, operating costs and after market modifications such as the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] kits which made it popular world wide for its bush flying characteristics.
It could access short fields while at the same time carrying a large [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] of 2,000 lb (910 kg). or more at high speeds for a twin engine piston aircraft.

Other competitive planes to the Cessna 310 include the Raytheon (Beech) Baron, the Piper Seneca and arguably, some models of the Aero Commander.
As of 2006, many Cessna 310s are in operation in air taxi service world wide.

Military applications
In 1957, the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] selected the Cessna 310 for service as a light utility aircraft for transport and administrative support.
The USAF purchased 160 unmodified 310A aircraft with the designation L-27A and unofficially nicknamed Blue Canoe[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], later changed to U-3A in 1962.

An additional 36 upgraded 310 designated L-27B (later U-3B) were delivered in 1960-61; these aircraft were essentially military 310Fs and as such equipped with the more powerful 260 hp (194 kW) engines and can be identified by their extra cabin windows, longer nose and swept vertical fin.
A USAF study after one year of operational service found the U-3A had direct operating costs of less than $12 an hour.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]
