The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft made by the Cessna Aircraft Company. [2] First flown in 1955, [2] more 172s have been built than any other aircraft. [3] It was developed from the 1948 Cessna 170 but with tricycle landing gear rather than conventional landing gear.
A 1963 Cessna 172D. Today, spin training is not required for a private pilot licence in the United States; added to this, most training-type aircraft are placarded "intentional spins prohibited". Some models of Cessna 172 are certified for spinning although they can be difficult to actually get into a spin. Generally, though, spin training is ...
This model had a longer wing, giving it a lower landing speed. The name was a play on the name of a popular model of Cessna, the Cessna 172, the idea being it is one better. Some flying Velocity planes experienced "deep stall" incidents, where the main wing stalled before the canard, causing an unrecoverable stall.
The 175 was designed to fill a niche between the Cessna 172 and the slightly heavier, larger and faster Cessna 182.The engine of the 175, a reduction drive or geared version of the O-300 (Continental GO-300) used in the 172, is rated at 175 hp (130 kW), or 30 hp (22 kW) more than the engine offered in the contemporary 172.
The British Auster WW2 reconnaissance aircraft had a placarded stall speed of 24 knots (44 km/h; 28 mph), [5] but that was merely the speed at which its control surfaces lost authority. As reported in many personal accounts by the pilots in their memoirs, the speed at which the aircraft would actually stall was 24 miles per hour (39 km/h).
Wings of more than 8 or 9 aspect ratio features other devices to complete the cuff effect, [17] for example stall strips (as used on the Cirrus SR22 and Cessna 400), "Rao slots" (as used on the Questair Venture), vortex generators or segmented droop (as used on a NASA modified Cessna 210). In the case of the high aspect ratio Cessna 210 wing ...
The 1954 model year introduced a 225 hp (168 kW) O-470-J engine and interior refinements. 1956 introduced a 230 hp (172 kW) O-470-K engine with a new air intake duct. Certified on 23 December 1952. 641 (1953), 620 (1954), 891 (1955), and 512 (1956) built. [5] [6] A 1957 Cessna on display at Hullavington Airfield, England. 180A
