On 8 November 2008, at the AOPA Expo, CEO Jack Pelton indicated that Cessna sales of aircraft to individual buyers had fallen but piston and turboprop sales to business had not.

" While the economic slowdown has created a difficult business environment, we are encouraged by brisk activity from new and existing propeller fleet operators placing almost 200 orders for 2009 production aircraft ," Pelton stated.

Cessna's workforce remained 50 % laid-off and CEO Jack Pelton stated that he expected the recovery to be long and slow.

In September 2010 Cessna CEO Jack Pelton announced a further 700 lay-offs, bringing the total to 8, 000 jobs lost.

Pelton indicated this round of layoffs was due to a " stalled lackluster economy " and noted that while the number of orders cancelled for jets has been decreasing new orders have not met expectations.

Pelton added " our strategy is to defend and protect our current markets while investing in products and services to secure our future, but we can do this only if we succeed in restructuring our processes and reducing our costs.

On 2 May 2011 CEO Jack Pelton retired.

In the 1870s, deriving from uses in the California mining industry, Lester Allan Pelton developed the high efficiency Pelton wheel impulse turbine, which utilized hydropower from the high head streams characteristic of the mountainous California interior.

Shortly after his recapture, Lindh was noticed and interviewed by Pelton, who was working as an embedded journalist and stringer for CNN.

Pelton brought a medic and food for Lindh and interviewed him about how he got there.

Repeatedly Pelton asked Lindh if he wanted to call his parents or have Pelton do so, but Lindh declined.

Pelton knew Lindh was receiving his first medical treatment since being shot in the leg more than a week prior and had been given morphine by a medic prior to Pelton's interview.

Lindh's parents maintain that Pelton acquired footage that was prejudicial and manipulative, and that Pelton contributed to the poor image of their son by sharing the footage with the world community without context.

Sectional view of a Pelton turbine installation.

The Pelton wheel is a water impulse turbine.

It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton in the 1870s.

The Pelton wheel extracts energy from the impulse of moving water, as opposed to its weight like traditional overshot water wheel.

Therefore, Pelton wheels have only one turbine stage, unlike gas turbines that operate with compressible fluid.

Pelton wheels are the preferred turbine for hydro-power, when the available water source has relatively high hydraulic head at low flow rates, where the Pelton wheel is most efficient.

Pelton wheels are made in all sizes.
