The Reims FP337H Pressurized Skymaster is a pressurised variant of the F337H, allowing higher-altitude cruise flight with improved passenger comfort compared to the unpressurised Super Skymaster family.

Pressurised cabin distinguishes from standard F337H
Centreline push-pull twin-boom Skymaster layout
French-built Cessna 337 derivative

Virtually identical externally to the F337H but features a more robust, sealed fuselage structure; the twin-boom push-pull configuration with high wing remains the primary visual identifier.

Specifications

The Reims FP337H Pressurized Skymaster has a length of 9.07 m (30 ft).
It has a wingspan of 11.63 m (38 ft).
Its maximum speed is 338 km/h (210 mph).
Typical crew: 1 + 5 passengers.

History

Reims developed the FP337H to meet demand for a pressurised light twin that retained the safety benefits of centreline thrust without the mechanical complexity of conventional twin-engine designs. The pressurisation system added weight and cost but enabled cruise altitudes otherwise impractical in standard light twins.

Variants

The FP337H was the sole pressurised member of the Reims F337 family; it is the French-market equivalent of the Cessna P337 Pressurized Skymaster built in the United States.

Where you'll see it

Sold in small numbers to private and corporate operators in Europe requiring pressurised light-twin capability; relatively rare compared to the unpressurised variants.
