At an airshow I attended this weekend an informed source (who wishes to remain anonymous) mentioned to me that Cessna plans to get rid of the struts (ala 177/210) in 2008 with a new series of composite/aluminum airframes with a diesel option. Should prove to be interesting if it comes to pass. This is in addition to their upcoming announcement at Airventure '06 regarding their entry into the LSA arena.
