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 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.

Additional speed ranges are specified for other segments of the approach. [1]: Table II-5-1-2 Table II-5-1-2 Approach plates generally include visibility requirements up to category D. [ 1 ] : II-5-1-3 While ICAO specify a top speed of 391 km/h for Category E, there exist no aircraft with an approach speed above this.
The turboprop aircraft was doing a simulated landing stall. All of the four crew members survived the crash. The aircraft was written off. [152] On September 25, 1978, PSA Flight 182, a Boeing 727-200, crashed in San Diego while trying to land at Lindbergh Field, California, after colliding with a Cessna 172.

At 8:59 am, the PSA crew was alerted by the approach controller about a small Cessna 172 aircraft nearby. The Cessna was being flown by two licensed pilots. One was Martin Kazy Jr., 32, who possessed single-engine, multi-engine, and instrument flight ratings, as well as a commercial certificate and an instrument flight instructor certificate ...
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.
