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. These turbocharged intercooled engines were installed with three-blade Hartzell propellers in a counter-rotating configuration to further increase performance and single-engine safety. The Riley Rocket 310 and the Riley Turbostream 310 replaced the standard Continental 310 hp (230 kW) engines with Lycoming TIO-540 350 HP (261 kW) engines. Jack Riley produced variants of the Cessna 310 to improve performance. Range max fuel / 55% cruise: 1721 nm/ 7.7 hr Range max fuel/ 75% cruise: 1235 nm/4.7 hr The Riley 65 and Riley Super 310 conversions used Continental engines.Ĭessna 310 to 310G by fitting two 240-260 hp (179–194 kW) Continental O-470D/-470M engines.Ĭonversion of Cessna 310/320 by fitting two 310 hp (231 kW) Continental TSIO-520-J/-N engines.Ĭonversion of Cessna 310 by fitting two 290 HP (216 kW) Lycoming IO-540-A1A5 engines and more fuel.Ĭonversion of Cessna 310 by fitting two 350 HP Lycoming engines.Įngines: 2 x Continental TSIO-520-J2BD, 350 hp This resulted in a cruising speed of 260 knots (480 km/h) at 18,000 feet (5,500 m) and a 3,000fpm rate of climb. At 5,400 lb (2,400 kg) gross weight the aircraft had a weight to power ratio of 7.71 pounds (3.50 kg) per horsepower. The Riley Rocket 310 and the Riley Turbostream 310 replaced the standard Continental 310 HP (230 kW) engines with Lycoming TIO-540 350 HP (261 kW) engines. My findings are a drastic enhancement to climb and high altitude performance and ~ 40 MPH faster in cruise at 24 squared. You may need to restart X-Plane and Regenerate Icons. The safest way I can think of, that will give you two variants of the aircraft to compare is the following.ġ) Copy the Digital Replica Cessna 310L folder and paste it to the desktop.Ģ) Rename the folder to DR c310L Super Turbostream (or something appropriate to your file system)ģ) UNZIP the enclosed Digital Replica c310L Riley Super Turbostream.zip file into the new aircraft folder you created on the desktop, and OVERWRITE all files.Ĥ) Copy the new aircraft from the desktop to the X-Plane/aircraft folder.ĥ ) Start X-Plane and select the new aircraft. This will overwrite the Default Livery as well as the Panel and the Cessna_310L.acf file. The livery looks black at first glance but it actually is a deep blue with white.Įngines: 2 x Continental TSIO-520-J2BD, 350 HP - Counter Rotating Props This is a modification of the Default Digital Replica c310L into the Riley Super Turbostream / Cessna 310/320
