Great plane gets an update?

When Cessna acquired the Lancair 350/400 line, it got an excellent light business airplane. Renamed the Covalis, the 400 will take 2 people with baggage over 1000 miles at 235 knots - which would make it faster door to door than an airline for trips up to 900 miles.

Well, Cessna has announced that on March 29th they will be introducing a new product and rumors are that it will be an improved 400. It will be interesting to see what updates have been made and you can look forward to review of the plane, the capabilities, and the possible business applications.
