The Cessna XMC was a prototype technology demonstrator designed to show advanced aerodynamics and materials.

The marketing name of XMC stood for "Experimental Magic Carpet" with the single test aircraft designated Cessna 1014 and later 1034 in company documentation.

[1]The two-seat Cessna XMC was built to test several concepts in light aircraft design including a ducted propeller and swept cantilever wing.

The aircraft was used to assess improved visibility, center of gravity effects, control surface locations and response, cabin noise levels and also the relationship of wing versus engine and propeller.

The aircraft configuration proved to have higher cabin noise levels than the production Cessna 150 and offered no performance advantages over the older design.
